Help radiator leaking.

[Happily1986]

Most of those available in hardware /Home DIY shops are not of industrial type , they are very much diluted in quality.

 

JB weld compound is not easily available locally too right?

Rm300 only abt sgd100 plus. Abt same price as sg. Coolant is extra. I try ows coolant n see how. Abt same price if i use toyota long life red colour.

 

Shop recommend ows say its good so i just try. Sg also abt same price.

 

i paid S$170...includes coolant. after factoring the petrol, toll, time going to JB....the only consolation is the cheaper shopping at Jusco/Giant etc.

Ok update.

 

I went jb n had it done. Took a couple of hours but job was well done.

 

Paid rm300 fr e rad n put 2lit of ows coolant fr rm100.

 

Now to monitor.

 

Thanks to all who helped out.

 

U better don't go JB or stuck in causeway jam if not really HG. Monitor and build up confident before venturing to JB again.

 

I got 1 time just before malaysia custom car over heat. Wait for tow truck for 2 hr at the old lorry custom. Best part is no body offer to help all just stare at me like I purposely make car break down. Bring some coolant with u and check the water level in the morning

Crack a bit difficult to repair. If leaking hole, use epoxy A+B compound mixture to cover up.

They say will call me after check the cost but never call. I think I might not want to go there again as their boss doesn't look friendly at all.

Agree. I replaced mine for 200 over. I need to find the receipt, it's a shop in Tampines Ind park. Specialist in radiator.
