Heinrich, did they give you any indication as to what caused the blockage? Depending on what it is, you could solve the problem by just lancig the core (they shove a rod through that is almost the same size as the tubes, thus pushing the blockage out the other side), and then chemically cleaning it and flushing the engine a few times?

My custom radiator was considerably cheaper than Grant's, but that doesn't make it cheap either.

Peter, dit het gelyk soos 'n hand vol sand wat daar uitgekom het.

Hy het nou 137,000km op Thabo. Ek het omtrent 30,000km opgesit vanaf September tot Desember.

In daardie geval dink ek jy behoort reg te kom met skoonmaak en flush?

Iets wat ek nie in my PM genoem het nie, Thermo Rad het my heelwat meer gekwoteer as wat hulle my uiteindelik gevra het...

Vanoggend deur baie swaar verkeer werk toe gekom. Niks het oorverhit nie, en die druk in die stelsel is dramaties minder. :clap: :clap:

As 'n laaste kans voordat Repulse vervang word gaan hy 29 Januarie 2013 in vir head pressure test, en nuwe head gasket. Ek het vanoggend die kwotasie gekry, en ek kan met dit saamleef.
