Just had a little jaunt out in the disco.
On the way back coolant started spraying out of the front of the radiator, it was spraying about 2 foot in front of the car and the tempearture went right up.
I stopped the car let it cool and waited till it had finished spraying coolant. Then I drove very gently home, about 5 miles. The temperature stayed the at it's normal point about half way all the way back.
Whats best to do now, should I use some radiator sealent stuff? it's a 94 300tdi and I've heard that sealent isn't always a good idea on older cars.
Should I just top it up with coolant and see how it goes? can I do that using a 50/50 mix.
OR should i prepare to get a new radiator?
Please help!
Thanks
