gav_113 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 i had the same m8!i chucked some rad weld in mine, it has slowed down the leak. it seems to be ok for small leaks. Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I woudnt use it, as the VR engine runs quite hot at the best of times. And if rad weld can block small holes in the raditor just think what it might block in the engine Link to post Share on other sites
