Pinhole leak in the radiator

In my previous post I wrote about oil drops leaking from the Right radiator.

There is a pinhole leak in one of the vetical veins. These veins are made up of plastic.

How do you "solder" them?

I think your best bet would be to pull the oil cooler and take it to a radiator shop and let them repair it. Most good shops have the capability to repair most types of radiators and coolers.

I must have called a bad shop.

A couple of months ago when my cooling system on my truck went bonkers on me, I took off the radiator and phoned a radiator company. They told me they couldn't/didn't check and repair anymore. The radiators of today are throwaways. I had to just buy a new one for $185 from Advance Auto.

You may end up having to do the same thing...Just buy a new cooler for that side. Check the price in Max BMW parts fiche or your local dealer and then order from Chicago BMW for 20% discount. Be prepared to wait several weeks and then phone them to jog their memory or you may never receive it. But the discount is worth it if you can wait.

Check with Beemerboneyard for a used one.
