I think I have developed a leak in my radiator, and was hoping that I could solve it using Radweld, as I have done on other cars I've had before.
However, is there no filler cap directly into the radiator? I took the front panel off and there doesn't seem to be a cap to open up?
How would I go about putting radweld in, or would that be a no-no...?
-
i'd only use rad weld as a temp mesure tbh.....
where bouts are you and what engine have you got?
-
Not a fan of radweld, but I guess it could go in by disconnecting top hose?

It is certainly only a temporary measure, I can't afford a whole new radiator or the time off work at the moment to get it looked at. Its a 2.5 V6 engine.

I used to put an egg in, but dont suppose I should do that nowadays either ;D

I thought that was an old wives tale? Does it work?

It certainly did! The egg wouldn't set until it hit the fresh air ie. the leak. Didn't last long though. My mate( a real tight b*****d, used to go through a dozen eggs a week) ;D

If your going to use one of those type of products, I think K-Seal is a better product.

Sure it does. You push a whole fresh egg with the shell into the expansion tank, warm the engine up to running temperature, then drive around for exactly 3 minutes and it is ready to eat...

Thought you had to be a poacher driving a hatchback running on shell for that to work?

Is there any truth that Free Range are better at sealing than their caged counterparts?

Yes there is, but unfortunately the once-common practice of stuffing live chickens down the radiator is no longer legal.
