Top of Radiator split-'96 I30 in Texas

[dodiho]

Does anyone know if the "plastic" top of the radiator in the '96 I30 can be fixed...there is a small split to the left of the radiator cap near the square logo stamping....I hate to have to buy a complte new radiator if it can be repaired with a "super glue" of some sort...Do u have to buy the electric fans with it ,too? Or-Dumb question_ will the plastic top part separate from the core? Thanks! This just happened about an hour ago!

you will have to replace the whole radiator. jb weld can buy you a day or so, but that's it. good luck with it.

Replace it. Radiators are pretty cheap, under $150...

Do a pressure test. Replace if it wont hold pressure
