NAC. Leaking Plastic Coolant tank.

[Ben Swann]

Ed,

I fix stuff like this all of the time using a variety of materials from epoxy to MarineTex.

In this cast suggest using Epoxy putty available in the plumbers section at any Home Depot.  Clean well.  Kneed the epoxy into a putty ball.  Apply in/around the seam.  Cures in under 10 min.

Hi Again,

Figured since I am already bothering you guys for your expertise about the '89 100, I would ask for your input on a non Audi vehicle.

I have another car with a plastic coolant tank that is leaking.  I won't be able to easily put my hands on another one of these tanks and could use some advice as to bandaging this one until I can put my hands on another.  It has developed a 1/2" long crack on one side just under a seam.  Any sort of product or bandage any of you have used to take care of a problem like this in the short term?

Thanks Again,

Eric Wulf
