Radiator leak

[wobby82]

Hi I have a mk2 Vts and noticed a little bit of steam the other day whilst sat in traffic, got home and noticed there was a bit of seepage on the bottom left (just below were u fill it up, put some rad weld in and looked the next day and was still the same, pulled car out this morning and everything was bone dry not sure if it has stopped but there was no sighn of leaking anywhere , not had chance to take out yet but was wondering if either the radweld has fixed it or does it it only leak when it gets hot?? Levels are fine also.if it had a proper leak would it drip all the time? Thanks

Best bet is to get it up to temperature again mate, if it still leaks buy a new rad from the scrappys, job done

Well I've just took it out got home again flipped the bonnet and there is no vapour ect so I'll keep a eye on it. Thanks

Be careful using radweld it`ll bung your heater matrix mate.

Yes I realised that after I put it in!! However its the 2nd day and my heating is fine so hopefully I'm a lucky one
