major radiator leak with the PWR

(1/3) > >>

Bumblebee:
Haven't driven the car for a couple of weeks and noticed a puddle under the radiator. Refilled the radiator after tightening all hoses and it dribbled straight out of the bottom tank. Because of the thermo fan I can't see if it's coming from above the bottom tank from a hole, but from the front the radiator is clean.

It's an 18 month old aluminium crossflow PWR with 2 x 1" cores.and 3000 cfm SPAL fan.

Can this be repaired locally and how long might it take?

Only problem is that Fred doesnt fix aluminium radiators! I think he has to send them away???

sms777:
Hi Les,
Looks like it will have to come out the car, so after you have done it take a good look where it is leaking from. If the tank split, fix is easy but if it is the core it could be a bit more complicated.
I can have it fixed in a couple of days regardless.

Cheers, Chris
