I’m back
right fitted me tdi enjin and put a new rad in but when i got it out it scraped a cap inside the box and damaged some fins,no probs i thought so we installed it and have had it runnin lovely but guy whos doin the winch has noticed that one of the water runners dont know what they are called has a small crack in it where i damaged it and when its runnin it leaks fookin ell,my mate who solderd up me heater matrix says he cant do the same with the rad cos its aluminium so is there anything i can use that will fix this hole..help please
 
you could try draining it, getting it dry, then applying some chemical metal.
 
is almost the very top runner so the water level is below it at the moment is chemical metal available from halfrauds or somewhere like that
 
pinch and fold with some pliers? i did this with success on my last rad... but the whole lot was ****ed so i replaced it!

I thought u could solder aluminium? Sure we used to use aluminium wire when I worked for BT n we used to solder that (sometimes)
 
You could pinch it like griff said , then bung some rad weld in it for the time being :D
 
try K-SEAL RADIATOR HEAD GASKET STOP LEAK this is very very good cost about £10 for a 1/6 of a litre

heheee i was about ta sell it an i had a pipe split on me,fixed that and found it was pressurisin the system, i cnut be arsed tekin heads off wen it was goin up for sale so scratched me head abit an ended up gerin k-seal i lerrit go cheap thou
 
I once bought a calibra that was sold cheap because it had a leeky heater matrix and rad, which Vauxhaull dealers had quoted £440 to repair. I fixed it perminently with a bottle of rad weld.
 
radweld made my cereal packet water pump gasket seal. Dropped it ingot the engine hot, it never lost water again!


Until i hydraulic locked it off road... Doh... That was a good few thousand miles after though.
