heatX leak

[nytrose]

think i might have put a stud or a rock thru the front heatx.
Its pissing out pretty bad,idiot light came on and i shut her down fast.
Can anyone tell me the extent of work to replace this,is it a huge job? or can they be repaired?
thx.

I do believe its a pretty big job. I thought I heard that the motor had to come out. I could be wrong tho, hopefully I am

Get some JB weld or something like that. Some good stuff. I've heard of people patching it up with that, and if they do a good job it lasts all year

I holed mine last week just a mere pin hole. Repaired it with some decent epoxy. Make sure the area to repair is super clean fixed it in a few mins

what size studs do you have? thanks

ouch. dealer asking 488 for HX, and 8hrs. labour.
with taxes this means at least 1400 job.
I will try to post pic of damage later.

Track ripped around base of stud so it was repeatedly thrashing the HX.

here are a couple pics of the damage. Does anyone know or better yet did their own front HX removal. Id like to know roughly whats involved before i decide to do this on my own. thx..

BUGGA!

I obtained a small hole in mine last year and repaired it with cold weld. You can pick it up at Canadian Tire. Have not had a problem with it. Make sure to clean the area good first and score with some emery cloth etc... let cure for recommended duration in proper temp.

I just did the same thing. To fix it I removed my suspension, track and drivers. And sent the rest of the sled out to get the heat exchanger aluminum welded.

Ok. got the heat exchanger fixed now sled will only run for 20 seconds and shuts down, code 30 oil pressure drop. seems i may have other issues.
