Fox 88 radiator pin hole!!

Have a pinhole in my radiator plastic top header
How can I fix this with gleu ?? any suggestions ???
moony.

maybe try a hi-temp epoxy putty???....

be sure the surface is clean and dry first.

you should also check your coolant level often to make sure that the patch is
holding and you're not losing coolant.

i broke off where the hose goes from the rad to resevoir (broke the plastic
pipe that sticks out of the rad) and patched it all together with putty, and
it's fine...been driving it around for 2 months.

its funny, thats exactly what happened to my radiator in my 87 fox. I
simply went to the local junkyard, and got another one for 15 bucks...
takes about 30 min to replace it

I wish it was that easy was recently at junkyard no foxes around it seems to
be an endangered specie.Thanks anyway
will try the high heat epoxy gleu.

it's always possible that you could pull a radiator from another VW...

anyone know if radiators from other VW models would be compatible with an 88
fox?
