Radiator

[destinationtoby]

Noticed a leak after a going for a drive today.
Its leaking from the circled area in the photo and it sprays up while driving, enough to leave noticeable amounts underneath the bonnet.
When I fitted the front extractors I had trouble putting the radiator back in, the metal bracket bit on the back of the fans was jamming up against the furthest pipe on the header.. I ended up just forcing it down into place and it fitted.. But it stil just sits against the header pipe, which was obviously putting pressure on the radiator and combined with a heap of hot coolant pressure has caused it to split at the top. does that sound about right??

I've got another radiator ready to go in, but I'm obviously going to have the same problem.. ..
Has anyone else had issues with the extractor sticking to too far out? Thinking I can probably just grind it down a few mil... Or What else???

u need to remove the fan adjacent to the extractors. just run with a single fan.

You didn't have Sahin's issue and had one of the wrong extractors on

Nope it's the proper one.. The only one that clears the aircon compressor.

So better to mount the radiator with the fan hard against the extractors, that are bolted hard to the motor, that moves and vibrates, causing hard vibrations to transfer into your radiator, causing the tanks to split.

Solution- remove fans, cos they aren't need, simply put there for decoration

I said remove one fan you f**king retard. I ran the racecar for 3 years with one factory fan.

You really are a dickhead aren't you

Theres a better idea for you, just grind the extractors down a few mill until you have clearance

You really are a dumb c**t

I just put a slim line fan in mine.

Is that coolant leaking? You might have cracked the tank if thats the stock unit. The plastic degrades and becomes brittle over time. Might pay to get a pressure test done to check.

Just run a slimline fan like matt dude. Or listen to shane..

He's clevererer than you give him credit for.

Where'd you get it from? Is there different sizes ?
