[W126 Coupe] replacement radiator 1985 SEC 500

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Bob,

That is indeed unfortunate.  I would ask the mechanic to provide the 
written warranty and the receipt from the radiator supplier.   Then make 
a few phone calls.  A replacement radiator should last 10 years not 24 
months.  I would not do anything to your cooling system to stop the leak 
as this can cause the heated wiper parking bladders, heater core, 
auxiliary pumps, etc. to collect the stop leak material and bring on 
other damage.  I feel you have a good case for holding the mech. to 
replace that radiator with another!  Just my 2.
