radiator

[tsi009]

Help pls guys,
My dsm got coolant leak like once a week on the passenger side at the bottom. I dont know why. I took out the radiaotr to clean and check it fines. I am thinking just change the radiator to be safe. Can I use non turbo radiator for it?

are you sure it's the radiator that's leaking? check your top and bottom hose first to see, then if it's really the radiator i suggest you go online and purchase an aluminum one, or go to your local kragen or auto parts store and pick up an OEM one, depending on the purpose/use of your car i.e racing, dd..etc. OR if you have a tight budget (like me) get some radiator sealant! it's like at most 10 bucks for a bottle, pour it in and it should seal it up...hope this helps.

Pressure-test your cooling system to find out where the leak is. 1-800-RADIATOR will have a new one on your porch in an hour, if that's the problem. Most replacement radiators have AT cooling built into them.

Take it to a radiator place to have it pressure test for any leaks, I
had the same problem a week ago. My radiator was F@k up,
they applied pressure (AIR) to it and spray it with soap then is when
small holes you could not see before where reveal.
