GU radiator problems.

Post by RN »

My mate has two GU's.

First one is a Series 2 4.5 petrol turbo with 205,000 k, the second a series 1, 4.5 petrol/gas with 245,000k's.

Both vehicles have had radiator failures where a split have occured in the header tanks.

Is this a common problem with this model?

His previous GQ's did not suffer from this problem.

Yes, he described them as being a crimped over header tank. Metal headers would have been brazed on I think.

RN,

This is common to just about all radiators with plastic tanks. As they get older the tanks get brittle & split.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

Thanks for that..he was ona bit of a mission to see if it was a NISSAN fault..but it appears to be just one of those modern symptons of using plastics...
