Radiator conections

[Mocki]

[quote="ghost123ukThanks Dave but I put some "K-Seal" sealant in and it seems to have done the trick, at least for now

I had better get saving for a new rad sometime in the future though I guess.

sooner rather than later i fear, that stuff blocks the tiny tiny pipes in the rad, and you end up with the same symptoms Dave had....

Umm - I was working from research on our wiki where it recommends Wynnes (but NOT the older formula stuff like Radweld etc).

The K-Seal stuff works the same way as Wynnes but NOT the same as Radweld etc.
After some research on the net, I find many folks endorsing it on various marques forums.

Anyway fingers crossed for now and saving for a Rad anyway as I know using any "sealers" is not the right way to fix the problem except as a temporary measure.

Please direct any further replies to my post here, to a new thread, giving the full story, here => https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54570" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

when i drained the old radiator [in the van] blue antifreeze came out,later on with the rad out of the van [when i was moving the rad] some dark green antifreeze came out!! so i recon some rad sealant had been used....each time i move the rad [around the garage] some more green antifreeze dribles out!.
so sealant for emergencies only?
