New help on SP Radiator

[Malifax]

Hi, my buddy's SP radiator seems to be spoilt. The temperature max out as in as fast as 10 mins and there are smoke coming out from it. Went to a shop, the uncle there told me that it cost 200 to change a new radiator and 100 for a second hand one. Please advise where to get cheap and good radiator for sp guys. Thanks!

If it's cheap, it's probably refurbished. If you want a good one, get a brand new radiator. There's no "cheap and good" radiator.

 

Be careful with overheating problems. The piston could jam, and the steam can hurt if the radiator cap is loose and blows off.

try to ask other mech for advice..

i dun think rad is the main cause..

maybe if you want you can use those radiator seal to fill up the holes for the time being, if the radiator is crack.

 

if you say 10 minutes temp max out when moving means the coolent pump problem or also high chance block, head crack already.

radiator seal is the cap...

 

the cap which covers the radiator opening where u pour in the collent/ water.

dear mate what i mean for radiator seal is not a radiator cap. It is a type of glue for patching up cracks on radiator.

Dear mate

 

Things you need to check are,

 

When does the leakage happen?

 

When the Engine is hot or cold?

 

Is the radiator cap close correcty?

 

If Leakage happen during Engine is cold means there is a crack on the radiator.

 

If leakage happen when engine is hot means that either the radiator has been repaired before by radiator seal quite sometime ago. Or The radiator cap is not close correcty.

for a start change a new radiator cap, radiator cap plays an impt role to release the pressure in ur radiator. if problem persist, change ur thermostat, this device is the one that opens and close the route to ur radiator. other then that choke radiator. flush the collant system and pour in water wetter i recommend.
