I found out today that my radiator is leaking. Any recommendations on a good radiator repair shop? Is the euro radiator the same as a US radiator? In the event I need to buy a new radiator...any suggestions on where to get a good deal?

Where is it leaking? The radiators are the same whether it's a Euro or US. The typical leak location is the passenger side end tank which is replaceable.

The shop said it is leaking in three different places.

Are there different radiators for auto vs. manual trans and rear AC vs. no rear AC?

It is the same as US.

You can also rebuild them yourself.

Differences are whether or not the end tanks have coolers, some I think have none, some engine oil, some AT fluid, or both.

Hi,

I did it recently, took it out of the car, took it to a normal rad shop, they welded an alu end cap. They do 4 or 5 a day per operator and they are durable, I think it's not rocket science. If you do 928 rads only, maybe it's good to make tabs straight, put new seal and cap and bend them again. If you do many different rads, welding an alu cap is faster and safer, I think.

Charge was next to nothing (80 or 100€ IIRC). They cleaned it both internally and externally, also. Just be sure to counterhold all conections properly to undo them, they say it's easy to rip them off.

So far, so good.

I found a shop that will do the repair. Much more affordable han buying a new radiator.

Tony - find a boiler maker. They are the best.
