Hi all,
My first post after owning my Getz for 4 months now.
It's a 2003 1.6GL and has just started leaking coolant out of the red/orange plug at the bottom of the radiator.
I have tried tightening it up but it just spins quite loosely but won't unscrew either.
Any ideas what I can do to stop the leak ???
Thanks
If that's the only problem you have, you can always weld it, epoxy it, etc and retap a new smaller hole on the cap. It'll be slower to drain in the future but you save time and money on a new rad.
Quite common for the threaded portion to break off the head of the plug.. especially when aged and re-installed too snugly
Replace the drain before it drains your wallet of an engine replacement due to overheating.
If you was lower 48 USA, I'd give you a replacement drain plug,, gots a handfull from scraped radiators
