I have a small rad leak and a new rad is a grip. Anyone use this before?

 

dont do it..... makes it worst IMO, ive seen many of people use this at my shop but ends up coming bak in a day or two haha

 

Dont do it! It will clog your system just save$$$ and buy a radiator

 

Buy a new rad , it is for use on crap boxes that you need to keep going.
It can clog the passages in the engines causing hot spots.

 

Aftermarket radiator is $100 .... JUST DO IT

 

come on its a lexus just bite down and get another radiator.......where you at in cali i know a place in fontana you might be able to get one used.

 

when i first got my lexus the fan put a lil hole in the radiator
i use stopleak and it work i even 4got my radiator even had a leak
so u can always use stopleak as a temp b4 you get a new radiator

 

Don't do it. Every mechanic I've dealt with has said no.

 

Really? Hmm where should i look for this price?

Hahaha easy for you to say, i just just put about 1500 into the suspension maintenance (not upgrades) and this economy isnt favorable. Dont even go to the pay/play scenario, cuz ive been in the game doing that for a bit and i generally do it right. Moneys real tight so imputs comments

 

sounds like a problem in a bottle to me.

have u tried temp fixing it from the outside?

 

pm'ed.....

 

A good radiator shop can repair the leak if the hole is in the radiator itself not in the end tanks. Then end tanks are plastic. The radiator, since it is aluminum or copper can be repaired quite easily.

 

good info! I should find that out! Thx...

 

As everyone else has said, don't use it, if you do, you will be not only replacing the radiator, but pretty much everything else that it comes in contact with, including a flush or two, just because it says "miracle in a bottle" doesn't mean it actually is one. As HI98GS said, most places can repair it, but with the aftermarket units being so cheap, don't lose sacrifice inefficiency for a few bucks.

 

aug come up to vegas and ill give you an OEM rad for 100 bucks ive got one chilling in the garage here for you
