its known to cause blockages and to remove them you need to flush the cooling system with radiator flush wich can undo any repair the radweld had done in the first place

See it as a temp fix until you buy a new rad either way!

It kept my old car together for 2 years...but that was a simple weeping core plug.

I had to flush my heater matrix every 2 months if I wanted any warmth mind.


Very much a last resort, in certain circumstances only

yeah guess it is not surprising it causes blockages as that is what it is designed to do i guess

It kept a leaking oil cover plate at bay for two years on my old 2.5 with no problems at all.

One bottle per system IMO. Seems to me anyway.

It was rumoured that a certain manufacurer used to tip it in at the factory as they rolled down the production line.

This was mid 90s

Memory is not what it used to be so can't remember the manufacturer now  :-/

I really cannot remember, but funnily enough I was in Coventry when this was told to us.
