My radiator cracked this weekend. The pastic part under the radiator cap is the part that actually cracked. Will the whole radiator need replaced, or can the plastic side be replaced? Anyone have the same problem or any tips on how to change it?

 

Each side tank can be replaced.. a radiator shop can do it...

 

Radiator.

Be aware that you can get a whole new radiator for ~ $200 wholesale. So weigh that against what you might spend on repair.

 

on that diagram it is the part numbered 7 that cracked. a few inches down from the cap.

 

The tanks are plastic and can be repaired or replaced.

 

Id take shoeboxes advice, hes a smart guy

 

Thank you guys for your time.

BTW, anyone have the plastic tank replaced/repaired before? how much?

anyhow, thanks again for all your help!
