is there any reliable way to repair a teeny tiny pinhole in a radiator? i'd rather just patch it if i can so i don't have to buy an expensive new radiator. the radiator in the car is 10 yrs old, so i figure it's had its life.

thanks,
paul

 

there are a few off the shelf radiaor repair chemicals, and i drove my escort for many miles with them in, including some 500 + mile trips

if you can get it barrs leaks is perfect..

i cant really comment though, my camaro is on its 3rd radiator now!!!

 

is that the stuff you add to your coolant or are you talking about something like a paste you spread over the exterior of the hole?

 

its the stuff you add to coolant, it kinda sniffs out leaks and seals them
Jaguar used to add it to new cars at the factory

 

cool, i guess it's worth a shot. it seems a like an easy decision -- a $5 bottle of sealant VS a $100 radiator. i think i'll try the el cheapo way first, lol.

THANKS!
