Coolant Leaking (radiator)

[Josh-h]

Hi,

Saw this on a thread before but just want to clarify it again if possible before I spend spend spend... Recently had my Audi a3 serviced and came back as (coolant level low - radiator leaking) does this basically mean I need a new radiator?

Thanks

Yes a new radiator would be indicated, unless the leak is from one of the flexible pipes connecting the radiator to the engine. So, best to get this looked at by the garage again, and make sure the source of the leak is properly identified. I believe that most of the radiator leaks that I have heard about originate in the lower corners of the rad. A common occurrence with the A3's. Good luck.
