Anybody had any experience with this?

The 206 (yes I still have it, gave it to Amanda), has decided to dump all its coolant.

I've checked all the hoses without removing them and it seems it's the radiator leaking although as to where its leaking I can't see yet.

Is it worth trying Radweld? I think on the inside of the radiator (engine side) there's a big enough indent that's leaking although the fluid is all over the bottom of the rad and doesn't appear to leak from a specific place.

I'll probably end up replacing the whole unit as it has a few marks on the back from when the HG was done, but the cars stuck up at Amandas parents and I just want to get it moving while I find a replacement rad, and running from my place of work, to pick up Amanda then run her to work is costing me a fortune in the Type-R.

Is there anything I should do to prep the car for Radweld and is there anything I should look out for after using it?

Also, the Peugeot only takes the water under pressure through the top of the res. How do I go about properly filling it? Full res, put cap on and run then repeat? Seems an ache of the nads if so! There doesn't seem to be any other way of filling the system.
 
It didn't work. Ran it up to temp, put in the Rad Weld, left it running for 20 mins where it then seemed to stop... then it game peeing out much faster 2 mins later!

Well, at least now I know what I have planned for sat afternoon! :rolleyes:
