    Leaking Radiator

    jason7579 posted a topic in Misc/General Technical

    Hi all, I have performed a basic search and can't find this particular problem. I have deceloped a leak from my radiator recently. It is coming from one of the plastic blanking plugs but I am not sure if it the washer or plug itself. I have perfored a search and found out that the radiator uses a M22 x 1.5 blanking plug - in your opinion would it be better to: buy some tigerseal or could you suggest some kind of good quality sealant. Take the plug out, apply sealant liberally and plug it back up. Buy a new oe plug and washer from peugeot/motorfactors buy a plug and washer from a local hardware shop of the same size Also would it be necessary to replace with another plastic plug or could I use a metal one? Not sure if it would make a difference with the heat and water? Just for reference it is the M22 x 1.5 as seen in this picture (the right hand side one)...
