Radiator replacement

**MACCAA** · 23-01-2008, 05:23 PM

Noticed a couple of drops of coolant on the undertray the other day.Investigation by Paul Muller and myself determined a leak from the lower passenger's side corner.Went to Mcgraths on Friday,they pressure tested it on the spot,and ordered a new one.Had it fitted today and ready by 2pm.
Nice to have a good result from a dealer rather than the usual complaints.
Cheers

Yeah Len I've had mine replaced now as well

Anyone else? Along with the two oxygen sensors, least we're getting our moneys worth from the warranty

never realised a leaking radiator was a common problem

Guess that comes down to your definition of the word 'common'. We've had what ... three / four on here? I think we've had a lot more with gearbox faults and turbo bolt faults.

Mt car will be 2 yrs old next month (no ... no party) and really the only thing I'll have had done under warranty is the aircon compressor changed.

Yeah I wouldn't call it common either. I reckon you'll also get a higher concentration of problems here on the forum based on mods and track days and hard driven cruises.
