    Radweld, yay or nay

    Changed the radiator in my 300tdi a year and half ago. However the new one has now developed a leak, I can’t bring myself to spend £110 on a new one and mess about fitting it. What does everyone think to putting radweld in it, or should I stop being cheap and get a new radiator? Cheers

    Hi all, 300TDi in a 110 CSW 1996. I know that there are many threads talking about this subject and believe me I have read a good chunk of them. The other day I replaced the bearing in my serpentine tensioner pulley to eliminate the chirp which has started to annoy me big time. I used an SKF...
