Mk so my radiator has developed a crack in the top part. Its a stock radiator and the crack is on the plactic part right under neath the bracket that screws in to the support. Its not overheating as long as i keep it filled with water or coolant. But when i drive her for awhile she will start to steam, i imagine from the fluid getting on the hot parts of the engine. But I put some JB weld on it and i guess the pressure broke right thru it. Is there anyother fix it job that i can do to patch the crack until I make a trip down to pick and pull ?



In the picture, the crack is faint but its right where the gray matter is.(or jb weld)

 

there is really no way around getting a new radiator since its plastic that cracked and theres no permanent solutions that are cost efficient that i know of. mine is a 96 and it cracked already, so you're actually doing pretty good. the last thing you want is engine damage from excessive heat, so you will probably just have to bite the bullet and get a new/rebuilt one. they're only about $100 though if you just shop around. that will still be cheaper than contantly buying coolant to dump into it, so the sooner you get a new one the more you will save. sorry about your luck

 

You cannot really fix these kinds of radiators, you must replace them.

I recommend you search for one that doesn't have plastic on the top of the tank.

 

Buy your radiator here at www.radiatorbarn.com. your oem is plastic / aluminum casing and tend to leak eventually. You can get an all metal heavy duty raditor $125 shipped. I highly recommend it, all of my friends / family have used it and have been successful thus far. While your down there, You can fully flush your fluid, replace needed hoses and maybe your thermostat.
