Try Fluidyne. Is that correct spelling? Anyway they make excellant top of the line stuff. Hopefully one that fits our engine bay and support. I dont know if they do or not. Call them, maybe we can get a group buy out of it.

How does it take your coolant? What exactly is happening? Might be something other than the radiator. Or if it is, being only 3 weeks old, it should have some sort of warranty.

that's when your radiator and AC work the best.

check your thermostat, it might be messed up

I used a UK product called Radweld when I holed my radiator.
That was back in '98 and I'm still going strong.
Its bl**dy good stuff and WORKS.

If, however, you considering a new rad., check out the massive forum post on the Turbo project. I know that west_minist posted a source for radiators.
