Ever since I got my car I have had a slow coolant leak. I Have had the engine sniff tested and compression tested and they come back as fine
I have just found the leak after all this time and its seeping ever so slowly from the end of the top hose.
I suspect underneath the hose the neck is cracked as I know this is common
I know Kent Bergsma of Mercedessource does this kit
https://mercedessource.com/store/plastic-radiator-broken-upper-neck-repair-kit
I also know that Behr now reinforce the necks in a similar fashion.
To my eye that looks like just standard copper pipe????
By the time you have payed shipping and duty its going to end up £50 for a couple of scraps of sandpaper,A pair of Rubber Gloves,A couple of inches of Copper Pipe and Some Epoxy!!!
:ehh:
Does anybody here know what diameter pipe I would need as a full length of pipe from Wickes us under a tenner
If it can be repaired I can at least get it to a friends to have the rad replaced
Kent does some really good stuff but he is In the states an I feel certain I can knock up the kit myself here locally If I know what size Pipe I need?
Thanks
Jodie
