Overheating Gu 4.5L

[threedogs]

Radiators are pretty cheap I just replaced mine for $300.
you're talking about the top plastic tank, I think a radiator place
could "rod" your radiator and refit both top and bottom tanks.
Ring Natrad or similar and see what they say

Filled the Radiator with coolant and saw now that its drippin on the left bottom side of the bottom tank/radiator. Filled around 7 Liters and lost 2 or something like this. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to spot the leak. The next nafrad shop is 12km away and I'm not sure if I can make it up there. 300 for a new one would be okay. Where did you got it and was is with installation or do you fixed it by yourself?

Or let TDs over heating fairies take a look at it for you ............

Left side, passenger side?
On the bottom of the radiator tank on the end there is a hex shape threaded plug. That's the drain plug for the radiator, make sure that it's tight.

No I mean left side when u stand in front of the car. So it's drivers side but will check it again when I refill it after work to drive to the shop. I think when I fill it I should be able to drove a few kilometers without overheating.

That side has the bottom radiator hose.
Check to see the condition of it.

Okay, was at natrad today and they made a very short pressure test because it started directly to come out at the radiator so I need a new one. The guy at natrad offered me a radiator for 405 (aftermarket) and around 120 for the fitting. Where did you find your one for 300? I rang a few more mechanics but they were all around 600 and more. Now I'm also worried that the one from nafrad is maybe not that good because it's the cheapest one? Do I need to choose something special or just any aftermarket?

Aftermarket should be fine.

Threedogs car is a ZD30, so not sure if the radiatior for a TB45 is bigger or not........ there are plenty on ebay for less than $300 but no idea on what the quality might be like.
