Hi All,
Wife complained that her uzz32 suddenly dropped in power. i started the car after it had cooled down.
I suspect good ol' soarer has a thermo cut out to stop people cooking the motor running it without water/oil. Anyway - needs a radiator core i suspect. dripping from bottom, all rubber pipes are fine - top tank replaced 5 years ago and no sign of leak there. So i am looking for good condition radiator 2nd hand or suggestions as to best place for recore/buy new


many thanks

alex

I would be inclined to take it to a Radiator specialist and get them to pressure test the cooling system to locate the leak in case it’s not the core.
