Gran turismo Radiator

[Jake253]

Just gone and had a look around my GT and noticed the bottom of the rad has half fallen off!

Picture attached.

Any advice on best action?
Get this one repaired? Or get a new one? If new where’s best to go?

Thank you

just prod it back inbetween the tubes with a blunt stick and forget about it.

Okay I’ll give it a go! Thank you

The front heat exchanger is the AC condenser, not the rad I’m afraid. If the bottom row is falling away then the matrix is breaking down. Prepare for no A/C and a replacement. If you are environmentally minded consider replacing it before the gas fall out as it is quite unpleasant for global warming in the atmosphere.

Not sure one Mas A/C condenser is the biggest problem for carbon feet today - the fins only help dissipate uber coolness from the tubes so one or two missing isn't the biggest problem a Maserati can conjure up

Imagine there were 600 million car owners who felt the same way? Or of the refrigerant was 1430 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas and longer lived in the atmosphere.

The fins that are hanging down surround an aluminium micro channel which contains the refrigerant. When it breaks the gas will be out.

You pay your money and take your choice.

You have seen what else is under the bonnet haven't you?
