Guest Rach Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Fast fix my car was the same a few weeks aggo but not having the time i did my all time top water leek trick 2 eggs in the header tank ... Sounds daft but it works short term anyway 3 weeks up to now in my cabby what happens is the egg will travel round the engine water ways and when it meets air it solidifies it only works on small leaks and will not damage the engine at all its what people used before rad weld Originally put on forum by xr3i-cabriolet, moved from Wiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest suffolk04 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 used rad wield in the past, wasn't impressed, but found k-seal very good and used by the aa. But rather fix the thing properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cooderkey Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You could also eat the egg if you're hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Havent used the egg but fixed loads which have put rad weld and k seal in it . fixed the leak and found heater's still to be cold and found rad weld or k seal has sealed the heater matrix up and other bits ... not many have done this just dont leave it in there for to long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f40 cab Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Used k seal on 320i bmw with blown head in dec 2012. 12 months later and 9000 miles it still goes. So thumbs up for me on k seal that little £10 bottle saved me£900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincygav Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I also recommened STEEL SEAL, it may be pricey at near £30, but certainly does the job for warped heads, which I have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himanshu Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I also have seen in the movies, put rice in the cooling system! I think it was a Laurel and Hardy sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
