Hello, Experts! Our car overheated and we found out that the pipe where the water hose (?big tube at the top) is connected to has corroded and has actually broken off the radiator body. Well, part of it. The portion of the pipe where the hose and the pipe overlap with a clip has broke off, while an inch of it is intact with the body.
Tanong ko lang:
1. Is is ok/safe/recommendable to have this repair welded? vs buying a new one-- na overhaul na ito last year, but i guess pipe corrosion is a different issue.
2. I have been reading other threads to research. Someone mentioned na pag welding sa radiator, I have to ask them if "acetylene welding or handheld blow torch" gamit nila-- is this relevant to my problem of pipe repair or baka this is an issue for radiator body welding lang?
3. If yes to number one, how much do you think this should cost? for reference lang so I kno what a fair fee.
4. Is this a minor procedure na pwede ipagawa sa ordinary radiator shop, or medyo maselan na trabaho for a specialty shop?
5. If you have any shop suggestions in the Makati area, any referral is appreciated :)
Thank you!!
