Ben123 Neutral Newbie January 4, 2008 Share January 4, 2008 I am still hanging on to my 6 yr old Daewoo Lanos due to $$ consideration. Had a radiator leak recently at the outlet of the radiator plastic cover (connection to water outlet hose cracked). Was told I only need to replace the plastic cover due to prolonged heat exposure while the radiator can still be savaged. Problem is parts are hard to find especially for Daewoo. I am seeking help from fellow motorists who may know of any radiator repair contacts. I have driven to 3 such shops and they all could not help. Even the agent has no stock and I need to wait at least a month. Can anyone offer any assitance? Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_w124 Neutral Newbie June 14, 2011 Share June 14, 2011 Dont think a radiator would cost alot bro. my radiator was 180 from stockist. Diy myself to replace. but do it somewhere where u can drain the coolant off properly. if not toxic water would be spreading around. check with your stockist. mine was brand new radiator btw.

Panelcraft_auto Neutral Newbie June 17, 2011 Share June 17, 2011 TS: the plastic can be melded with epoxy like YeoBH suggested. Just take care to mix correctly and sand down the area properly before applying. If not sure, bring to me, I do for you. As for welding repair of radiators, yes we have people doing that. If need help can PM me. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenLee Neutral Newbie August 7, 2017 Share August 7, 2017 I have just repaired my Ssangyong Musso radiator and it did not cost me a lot. Other places have quote me like $600 or more which I find stupid. I went to Eric from Goh Lee Wah Automobile in Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2. Some people think that I am advert for him but let me tell you the truth, he don't need this repairs or replacement business. He is a supplier with his own manufacturer in China for radiators and he supplied to many car shops in Singapore. My musso was repaired on Saturday (5 Aug 2017) after waiting for a month for my radiator which Eric kindly ordered for me. Cheers! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
