Opel Vectra C leaking coolant from front end

chrisvectra25 · 2015-05-25 10:38:47

My 06 vectra is leaking coolant from the offside front presumably the radiator although it's right on the corner of it from the little I can see. Anyone any idea of repair cost? I'm guessing it will he a new radiator. Cheers

Not necessarily - if the leak is on a metallic part and the gash is not very big, it could be welded back. You need to have it inspected to know, however.

Be wary of driving it, as you could make things a lot worse.
