Hello all, I have a question on my newly acquired 86 Spider Quadrifoglio. The day after I bought it, the radiator developed a leak, which appears to be at the upper seam. I called the mechanic who had serviced the car for the prior owner, he told me this is a relatively common issue, and they can repair the radiator. I have an appointment to bring the car in on Tuesday.
While I was browsing the Vick Auto website for a part for my Fiat, I checked out their Alfa section and saw a brand new radiator for my Alfa for $199, which sounded like a pretty good price to me. Assuming it is possible to repair my existing radiator, am I likely to have future issues with it? I believe it is the original radiator, which is 29 years old now and has 85k miles. Would I be better off to just get the new radiator? Does anyone here have any experience with or knowledge of this $199 radiator from Vick?
Thanks in advance for any input or advice!
