Hey guys,
about a couple of months ago i was in an accident, someone hit my front right hand side of the car..
and it cracked the radiator a bit, the panel beater just place some glue on top of it... n recently its leaking so i took it back to get it fixed... ONCE again he put more glue on it, I'M NOT TOO HAPPY..

But the problem is now... i think theres another crack somewhere else... because coolant water is leaking inside the car. the front passenger side.....

I want to know is this a serious problem? does it need alot of work to fix all these radiator problems..
I know for a fact i need a new radiator for sure... but do i need to change other stuff??

any comment would help alot

THanks

eh?

rads won't last forever, but I would say the crash might have caused the front rad to go.

as for the heater matrix, i'm not sure, yeah they won't last forever but also

1. they aren't open to the elements that external rads are.
2. half the year they aren't used cos its too warm to need the heater on all the time.

I'd have a look at the heater matrix and see where its leaking, also the main rad. If they're just leaking cos of corrosion then fair enough but if they're leaking cos somethings been stuck through it then theres your answer. if you've crashed and its caused something in the dashboard to stick through the matrix then you should be able to claim for it surely.

sound like a right dodgy set of gits them two buddy.
