Why the hell do i need a new radiator if only the right arrow has a chip...

why the hell do i need a new radiator if only the right arrow has a chip? (not the URH itself its the plastic part from the radiator the hose connect to)

am i being scammed out of 1000 wth Veeky Forums

Does it leak with the hose on? if so, that entire end tank is one piece so yes, you need an entire radiator.

>you need an entire radiator.
Fuck that. Use a two part epoxy. $5 at Home Depot.

No and I checked the hose and they're fine
just a crack in that ribbed for pleasure plastic part

Why did you take the hose off?

that's what I'm thinking the other piece is still left in the hose

>burping or bleeding or whatever the bubbles out
>squeeze radiator hose
>falls off ribbed for pleasure part
>find the chipped piece inside

does anybody know what i would call that part at least?

upper radiator hose barb

>$1000 for a radiator

Maybe that also includes all the shop time and fluids.

>she doesn't change her own radiator
Literally the easiest thing in the world. Pull a few hoses off, couple bolts and she's free

>implying a radiator change isn't a piece of piss
oh, user, you have A/C don't you
it'll literally cost like $100 if you just get a new rad, do it yourself, and live without A/C

Uhhh don't forget you have to drain ALL the coolant AND fill it back up

>implying that's difficult or expensive

Any epoxy will work, one advertised as a plastic welder would be my first choice.

My most recent Volvo de turbo project had the inlet going to the overflow completely broken off. I found both pieces in the trunk.

It works just fine now.
Or buy a new one like a little bitch.

>implying it isn't

>$1000 for a radiator
It's because in a lot of cars, like mine, that "radiator" includes more than your grandpa's radiator like sensors. The assembly also has to be of the correct size as it fits into a certain space along with the air conditioning "radiator". There's also something for the transaxle cooling so I am guessing transmission flud is cooled too.

>air conditioning radiator

That's a condenser user. And yes auto trans fluid is often cooled through a separate passage within the radiator.

wut

>don't forget you have to drain ALL the coolant
You have to take the lower radiator hose off to do the job, so forgetting to drain the coolant is not a problem.

It is when you get muddy coolant all over your face and eyes

Don't stick your face under it, to avoid this i proceed this way

>remove face
they should teach this in high school
