radiator help please!

[airs 172]

i have broken my radiator on my 172. i have tried using bar weld but hasnt worked for long. i have my radiator off my old 1.2 t reg clio will this work? cheer airs

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope! £100 or so for a new one IIRC

 

[airs 172]

damn that doesnt soun good is there no way it would bodge for a while?

 

[BrianR]

I don't think it will, there is more "area" on the 172 rad and I think the temp sender is different.

Check with Edde or Fred though.

oops: fred beat me to it.

 

[Fred@BTM]

is it worth risking causing major damage to your car by not buying a new one? try specialist breakers first

01254 386661 ask for jane, nic or matt, tell them i sent you

 

[airs 172]

[Fred@BTM]

don't put that crap anywhere near your cooling system, asking for trouble!

 

[airs 172]

you think it would do damage? i have done 10 miles or so and all water just dissapeared from the bottle and it was at max mark! so must bed a reli big leak.

 

[edde]

Forget using the 1.2 one way to small.

As fred said try matt he can get hold of brand new ones at discount.
