Flowed radiator. What should I do?

Statistics show that about 20% of the problems associated with operation of the vehicle with the engine cooling system malfunction. This is not surprising: the conditions under which operates the full range of cooling systems, can not be called comfortable. Operating temperature it can reach 120 degrees, pressure - 2 kg/cm2, and these parameters are constantly changing, which is much worse than a simple increase in pressure in the system. Another source of trouble - the aging of the cooling system. Over time, it accumulates all kinds of deposits, scale, corrosion appears. These processes are often unreasonable motorists accelerate mismatch antifreeze or psevdoekonomiey when antifreeze does not change in two years. During this time he washed all of the special additives, and corrosion of the engine cooling system is provided to you. So the logical conclusion: the engine starts to overheat, resulting in boiling coolant steam generated traffic jams, excessive increases pressure in the cooling system. The first can not stand the plastic radiator elements of the car: they have cracks, and they burst. Most often this happens with a plastic cisterns, located at the top and bottom of the radiator, and they burst, and the coolant is slowly but surely follow. What do you do when the radiator started to leak? Of course, the required emergency repairs! If the leak is small, is stored with distilled water: it will help get to the service center. If the leakage is significant, and you on the road - call technical assistance. When I try, in the words of a popular song, "somehow reach the last mile" to your "friend and comrade," the motor is likely to come to an end, and there really is not joking. Many self-assured motorists believe that they are able to cope with leaks. Indeed, on Internet forums enough tips and tricks of this kind, but keep in mind that their authors are generally in no hurry to explain in detail the technology of repair, because they consider repairing something taken for granted, but it is not so. The result is a convolute the neck completely tanks or pipes damaged due to inadequate effort. Fill with epoxy resin without proper cleaning and degreasing also at risk of renewed leakage. Overheating of the metal during welding tank artisanal often leads to depressurization of the core tube radiator, and this defect fix by yourself will not work. In short, this initiative is most often ends with the need to buy a new radiator. Meanwhile, repairs carried out professionally, costs an average of three times cheaper than buying a new radiator. Moreover, radiator repair, in some cases - the only right decision, because the quality of spare parts on the market are not always sufficiently high. You can certainly order a radiator company, but to wait in this case will have a week to a month, and will have to pay for it in full. Buying a new radiator is justified only in cases where the cost of repairs after the diagnosis is too high. Thus, there are three ways of solving problems: to repair the radiator, a new book or go to the garages, where provided repair services for the radiators. The first option is for those who likes to spend free time in the garage. Second - for those who have a lot of extra rubles and a spare car for a long time. A third option - the best and often only possible one.
