Repair Method
Repairs to the aluminium radiator core should only be made using the recommended 'Aluminised Silicon' based liquid
repair agent, in accordance with the recommended procedure outlined in General Core Repair in this Section. Refer to
the current Partfinder™ for Aluminised Silicon base liquid part number.
For damaged areas that are between the cooling fins, it
may be necessary to remove some of the fins. Do not
remove more fins than is necessary. Usually 6 mm
(distance ‘A’) beyond the leak or damage area, up to a
maximum of 25 mm of total fin material, is enough to
make an effective repair.


Figure 6B1 – 65
Tube Blocking
If a tube is severely damaged, it can be blocked off.
NOTE
Do not block off more than two tubes in a
radiator. Blocking off more than two tubes will
reduce the cooling capacity and efficiency of
the system and possibly result in an
overheated engine.
The tube should be cut off 6 mm from the header (1) and
pinched shut before it is cleaned and sealed. Refer to
General Core Repair in this Section.

Figure 6B1 – 66
Header Repair
If the header or a tube near the header requires a repair, the side tank does not have to be removed. If the repair
requires the removal of the header tank, then the radiator must be replaced.

General Core Repair
NOTE
The need for careful preparation of the surface in
the repair area cannot be over-emphasised. If the
leak area surface is not clean, the repair material
will not adhere to the surface.

Refer to ‘
‘‘
‘
Environmental Issues ’
’’

in 3.1
Service Notes, before draining the coolant.
1 Drain the coolant from the system. Refer to 3.3 Draining and Filling Cooling System in this Section.
2 Remove the radiator. Refer to 3.15 Radiator in this Section.
3 If necessary, carefully cut away fins to expose the damaged area.
NOTE
Do not cut away more than 25 mm total fin
material.
4 Clean away dirt etc. with water. Dry the affected area using hot air from a hair drier.

Do not apply flame to dry damaged area.
5 Clean affected area with petrol to remove any traces of oil.
6 Thoroughly stir contents of repair agent.
NOTE
In cases of extended shelf life, the silicon in
solution may separate from the thinner base.
Should this occur, mix contents well until agent is
again homogeneous.
7 Apply repair agent sparingly to damaged area. Do not apply an excessive amount, as this will cause blockage of the radiator tube.
NOTE
Use a clean, dry wooden applicator to 'DRIP'
agent onto damaged area of radiator.
8 Allow radiator to stand in a clean, dry area for a minimum of 3 hours (at ambient temperature of 20 – 30 ° C) with
adequate ventilation.
NOTE
Do not apply heat or flame to promote drying.
9 Reinstall the radiator. Refer to 3.15 Radiator in this Section.

Transmission Oil Cooler Leak Test
If the transmission oil cooler is suspected of leaking oil, test it before the radiator is replaced, as follows:
1 Disconnect oil cooler pipes at the flexible hose connections. Refer to 3.14 Flexible Transmission Cooler Hose, in this Section.
2 Plug one of the connections, using a blocked pipe fitting and attach an air supply to the other flexible hose.
3 Remove coolant filler cap and check that the coolant is filled to the coolant filler cap filler neck.
4 Apply air pressure gradually, increasing up to an absolute maximum of 110 kPa. If bubbles appear in radiator neck, the oil cooler is leaking and the radiator assembly must be replaced.
Transmission Oil Cooler Seal Replacement.
It is strongly recommended that the transmission oil cooler connector fittings to the right-hand side radiator header tank,
not be disturbed. If coolant is found to leak from either of these two areas, then the radiator should be replaced.

4.5 Problems Not Requiring Disassembly of
Cooling System
1 Large obstructions blocking radiator or condenser airflow.
• Auxiliary oil coolers
• License plate
• Obstruction of radiator grille, for example, driving lights or mud
2 Loose, damaged or missing air chute side panels.
3 Missing or damaged air baffle.
4 Cracked or loose coolant recovery system hose.
5 Leaking heater component such as the heater core or water valve.
4.6 Problems Requiring Disassembly of Cooling System
1 Damaged cooling fan or faulty motor operation.
2 Pressure test cooling system.
3 Defective coolant pump.
• Eroded or broken impeller vanes
• Failed bearing or seal – check for shaft or bearing end play
4 Internally blocked radiator core.
5 Obstruction of coolant recovery system.
6 Internal system leaks.
• Head gaskets
• Cracked cylinder block
• Engine front cover
• Intake manifold gaskets
7 Blocked coolant passages in cylinder heads or block – remove cylinder heads and check.
4.7 Black Light and Dye Leak Diagnosis Method
It is strongly recommended that this diagnostic method be used to diagnose fluid leaks. This method is a proven and
reliable method that identifies the specific leak source.
The black light kit can be used for the leak detection of a number of fluids, when used with the appropriate tracer dye.
Examples are: Coolant, Engine Oil, Automatic Transmission Fluid and Air Conditioning Refrigerant (R134A).
The following is a summary of the steps involved in detecting a cooling system fluid leak using black light and dye:
1 Pour specified amount of dye into the cooling system via the coolant filler cap on the outlet housing. Refer 3.1 Service Notes in this Section.
2 Road test the vehicle under normal operating conditions.
3 Direct the light towards the suspect area. The fluid leak will appear as a brightly coloured path leading from the source.
4 Repair fluid leak and recheck to ensure that leak has been rectified.
5 Refer to the manufacturer’s directions when using this method.
