Dang-it! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif I just discovered that I've got a Radiator leak on my 928. Kind of weird as it’s not on a seal but is in the middle of the end cap with the cooler lines. Now it doesn't leak all the time and when it does it’s a extremely small pin hole. But like anything else it ain't going to go away by ignoring it.
So I've been doing searching and have discovered that the CK aluminum radiators is probably my best bet. At about $850 ea they ain't cheap, but the stock/OE (BEHR) ones seem really expensive at between $1,300 to $1,500. Anybody know anything about CK radiators?
Other options:
I've already got a line on a used radiator out of a 81' 928 and should have that by late next week. Most used radiators on eBay are running about $500 to $600 with no guarantees. So for a hundred bucks I don’t feel so bad about rolling the dice.
The next option is to replace the end caps on my radiator. There’s a company that sells the end caps for about $120 and the seal kit for about $100. If I go that route I could use the used radiator above while I have a radiator shop rework the old one.
Thanks for letting me rant,
