After I came home last night I noticed smoke was coming from under my hood, so I popped the hood and I see coolant everywhere including my bumper. I later noticed that theres a crack at the top of my radiator and thats where the coolant is coming from. I just want to know how can I fix the crack? Like is there somekind of glue I can use? Because I went to see how much it was to replace the radiator and mineike said it was 460. And I can get a brand new radiator online for like $70 and probably install it my self but I rather fix it then replace it. Or at least fix it temporary until I get a new radiator. Anyone got any ideas?

 

I'd replace it if I were you, but I'm pretty sure they make some kind of goo to fix it (although, I wouldn't trust it for very long)

Just go to some AutoZone or something and look around. Or you could even ASK someone that works there..

 

Is it hard to replace yourself?

 

The radiator, no not at all. you just have to:

Drain the coolant system
remove all of the hoses connected to the radiator
remove the resivuar
remove the upper mount
slide it out

Also be sure to remove any wiring going to the fan

That should be it. Just take a look at it, it can't be that hard.

 

yea, i would replace it. check your local autozone for a replacement or get a fluidyne.
