Nissan Repair: radiator repair or replacement, radiator shop, nissan altima


Question
How can you fix a small leak near the top of the radiator,in the plastic? Can just the plastic top be replaced or do I need to replace the entire radiator? My car is a 1995 Nissan Altima 4 cylinder. No previous problems with cooling system.

Answer
Dan,

Call around your area and find a radiator shop that replaces the plastic tanks.  Yes, all you have to do is take them the radiator and they can change the tanks.  The price varies depending on the radiator.  I did a Toyota not too long ago for $42 for the top tank.
