Engine damage caused by overheating because you tried to “fix” a broken radiator is EXPENSIVE.
Seriously, I see these questions all the time, and I don’t fault people who aren’t car enthusiasts for not knowing that radiators are basically disposable, but all the replies giving ideas about how to “save” this broken radiator are dumb as shit and should be ashamed. RADIATORS ARE BASICALLY DISPOSABLE. When a radiator breaks, BUY A NEW ONE. For most cars a new radiator costs LESS THAN A HUNDRED AMERICAN DOLL HAIRS. Trying to fix a plastic radiator is always, every time, with no exceptions, throwing good money after bad.
Radiators are CHEAP.
