yes, my car, aka bavarian attention whore/drama queen, has decided to part ways with the original rad, at just slightly less than 150,000 miles. It seemed as tho I was going to make it thru the winter without something breaking, but I shoulda known....:rolleyes: anyhow a new rad is not all that expensive or particularly hard to install, so I should be thankful for that
anyhow..

Yeah, I'm a little envious... wish my issues were as simple to swap out?!

Is the end tank leaking? If so, you can just replace a couple of seals. I did so on my girl's car back in June and it's been fine.

Parts 3 and 4:
