Hello,
Would just like to know if aluminum radiators can be overhauled like copper ones? Been bugging me for a while so I decided to ask the answer here. I'll be considering this in buying a new radiator for my car.
Thanks!

If it's pretty worn down, it's best to simply replace it with a new one rather than patching it up every now and then.

i had experience once.. i had the leak fixed, and no more followed.. it's been over 5 years..
happy gambling.
my question is, why do some owners have more radiator leaks than others? which radiators are prone to leak? type of water? coolant? etc..
