Has any one else had this problem....its an 08 ss the Radiator looks to be leaking from the end tank on the drivers side.

 

I am still waiting to see our first HHR SS in for any repairs. I would check the hose clamp and if that's not it, that take it to your dealer for a new radiator.

 

Not a hose....cant really find were its coming from other than just seeping from the end tank.....call the dealer said they would look at it on Tues....they were talking about re-clamping the end tank...i think i would much rather have a new rad. it only has 750 miles on it.

 

I would have a pressure/dye test performed first to see if it's something simple like a clamp. Why start ripping things out of a new vehicle if you don't have to?

 

ChevyMgr.......

Is GM still using plastic endtanks and gluing them to the core assembly? Just curious!!

 

Glued and then tabs bent over. We never repair one with a tank seam leak. Always replace.

 

Thanks....

I had one pulled apart a couple years back and had larger end tanks installed for extra cooling capacity....about 3/4 quart.

Kind of kicking that idea around for the HHR. When climbing the mountains here (AZ). I experience coolant temps of 220-230 for quite a long time.

 

I am a mechanic at a local Saab shop have been for over 3 years me and the boss check it over...no hoses around where the leak is....only thing is the end tank that i can see.
