Hi Guys
Since last month I saw my temperature gauge a little bit higher of 190, my car always ran below that, sometimes cross the 190 and the fans turn on, all normal without any trouble.
A couple of weeks I saw my gauge goes up more than normal when ran normally, when stops on lights the gauge shows one line before the red zone and some times just a little bit lower than the red zone.
The street light turns on green and ran the car and temperature goes down to little bit higher than 190, I had no leaks and no overheating problems since ever!.
“it’s time to send to service this radiator I tought” last week I removed the radiator and sent to the service and you know what?
“your radiator it’s very old, the technician said. I tried to seal again and after to do the service I can’t seal it, the lines are very old and damage!
with a 35 y/o radiator you don’t need to stress I tought, what to do? Swap for a Scirocco radiator convertion or recore.
The technician suggest me to recore the radiator, you’ll have radiator for ever!! Like new! Also you won’t need to adapt nothing He said.
At this time in my life I have no time to swap the radiator and make the setup convertion so I recore my radiator and just pull in back in less than 30 min.
This weekend I ran my X1/9 on the street and freeway and It feels ok! the car runs normally and my gauge shows the needle lower than 190 a little bit lower than before, when the car stops on the light, just a couple times turns on the fan after 190
What do you think?
