SO, if I have a coolant leak in my car, I just change the radiator right? Why do I see some people saying that you need to rebuild the engine?

 

Thats if your car burns coolant. That would be a blown coolant seal.

 

Depending on where the leak is coming from. If the radiator is leaking, then yes obviously change the radiator. If it's leaking from the engine block then yes be prepared for a rebuild.

 

Hahahahahahaha

 

wtf is going on in here?

if my car is leaking fuel, i just replace the gastank right?

 

if you can afford a pressure tester pressure test the system then look for your leak. find out if its a hose, radiator, coolant seal, or heater core.

 

All these people are trying to fool you, just change the radiator and add more coolant.... come on guys. You need to rebuild the engine because you change the radiator.

 

:/

the 2nd gen section is full of fail lately

 

Where is the coolent leaking from? And don't say the car...

 

First things first.

Alsways, and I mean always search for the problem before you solve it. Not otherwise.

With other words, put your car on a lift or something and search for visible leaks. It can leak anywhere.

 

the radiator is leaking at the bottom right corner

 

remove it and solder the hole?

 

The stock radiators have plastic end tanks. If it has a leak, replace it.

 

That's what i said, but some retards said i need to rebuild the engine..... but thanks guys

 

yea man just get a new radiator, mine was almost like yours at the bottom of the radiator where the metal meets the plastic it warped. Have a new koyo coming now. Know im going to love it.

 

I've used "radiator barn. com" before. Free shipping and good quality parts. If you can't find it cheaper locally I suggest you check it out.

 

^ +1 on the radiatorbarn.com

I've used them 3-4 times.

 

Why didn't you just say the radiator was leaking in the first place? And who told you to rebuild your engine??

Just be more specific. This thread is retarded. You've wasted that much space on the Rx7club server by asking if you should replace your leaking radiator.

 

people these days have absolutely no common sense. This thread is pathetic. so is OP.

 

If your radiator is leaking, replace radiator. If your car is losing coolant, but there are no external leaks, the engine is burning coolant and needs to be rebuilt.

 

I did say the radiator was leaking, why dont you learn how to read first

 

see right there.. in his first post he stated his radiator was leaking.. duh. cant you guys read??

 

Your topic is:

"This question about the radiator"

Your post was:

"SO, if I have a coolant leak in my car, I just change the radiator right? Why do I see some people saying that you need to rebuild the engine?"



Nowhere did you say your radiator was leaking. Go back to school and learn how to convey your thoughts properly.

 

 

U guys made my night, Thanks!
