[MBZ] Cheap radiators

2017-06-14 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes
Well the cheap eBay radiator lasted less than  a week. Looks like the stupid 
boy may have hit something again because when I looked at the car the radiator 
was loose from the top clips and pushed back. It does not appear the fan 
contacted the radiator though as I don't see any damage. There is a huge stream 
pissing out near the top next to the passenger side tank. I can't tell for sure 
but depending on how long he drove it could have blown a head gasket. It did 
start right up and seems to run fine and I don't see any water in oil or oil in 
coolant. I guess I'm going to raise hell with the eBay guy and tell the kid he 
is going to have to pay for the real deal. I should have known better but was 
trying to save him money.

If he hit something again it might be time for the shoe leather express for 
awhile...

He says he didn't and I didn't see any damage. I might have just not been 
fitting exactly right or something.
