manny Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I just had my cambelt changed yesterday and while the radiator was out the mechanic noticed it was getting a bit rusty so he put some Wynns Radiator Stop Leak in to be safe. I know Radweld is not good to use but he assures me this Wynns stuff is ok as it contains lubricants to stop it clogging waterways etc. Does anyone know if this is ok, or should I get the whole system drained out and refilled with normal coolant asap?

Terminator Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Personally I would get a new rad and drain and pressure flush the system. any of those stop leak compounds are just a nasty delaying tactic. I have used them but only on old cars I was trying to get a few more miles out of with out spending money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Buy a new rad if you think its going to fail, your rad if original is 16 + yrs old, cheap bodges usually end up in expensive repairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ok cheers, thats what I thought but just wanted to check. I'm planning on getting a new rad anyway, just wasn't sure if its ok to drive the car with this stuff in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
