wynn's cooling system stop leak for leaky water jackets ?

Post by **Auto** » 05 Sep 2008, 17:32

As the title says just wondered if it will work ?
has any one tried it on them ?
Its only a small drip at the moment but i thought i had better get some advice before i give it a go i dont want to make things worse

Personally I wouldn't. I'd be worried about it gunking up all those little intricate pipes that make up the T3 cooling system.

The rubber the seal is made from expands and contracts more than metal does. I think those sealant things are really designed for cracks in metal parts rather than gaps in rubber!

Only a drip? We had about 8 months motoring with one of those. Stop worrying - especially with the milder winters. It was frost that finally killed ours I think!

Just start saving.....

yep, put that crap in there and youll be looking at loads more cost in the long run........

DONT DO IT!

like Dan says, keep an eye on it, and dont punish it, and it will be ok for ages, mines been dripping since april 07 and ive done 22000miles in that time, not many of them gently either!

......or for an alternative view - see the wiki...

It works (possibly) for some people - for certain leaks....

I put it in ...the cupboard - never got round to putting it in the cooling - and the jackets blew anyway - so I am no help at all.

Dan in cornwall put some of the stop-a-leak type stuff in his 2.1 , did lots of mileage , then sold it on , it used a wee bit of coolant but Dan just kept a lazy cornish eye on it

Used kseal on my car when it sprank a coolant leak somewhere behind the injector pump (core plug I think). Put it in drove 15 mins back from work, which had it overheating beforehand, bobs your uncle sorted god knows what it would have cost if I had taken it to a garage.

Truth is, you have not a lot to lose. BUT the rubber seals really do turn to mush and crack up so as soon as you have 1 bar pressure in the system, it'll leak.

Post by **mikey9** » 06 Sep 2008, 21:00

Laurie - I wonder if the new water pump a couple of months before ours finally let go was the cause - creating 1 bar pressure for the first time for a while.....will inspect the errant seals when I get the engine back next week ------a quick looky last week when the heads came off suggested "mush" was a good description.....

Heat creates the pressure, water pump just about moves the water around, but barely measurable pressure rise
