Default Radweld...

I've used this stuff in a Citroen I used to own (I know, not exactly a Subaru!), but it worked very well, sealing a pretty large hole.

Occasionally, I get what seems to be a stale smell of radiator water in the cabin of my car (2005 Blob), more often if the heater is blowing out air.

My question is (although I know the response is *likely* to be: How could you be stupid enough to even ask...) would putting a bit of Radweld into the radiator of the car be of any benefit, or is it just likely to bugger up a load of stuff in these types of cars? If there is just a small hole, would it fix it, or would it clog up everything and maybe cause things to leak?

Cheers!

I would not use it just find the leak and get it sorted

Sounds like it might not be worth the risk then...

How would I go about finding a leak in a radiator/heater matrix?

Thanks a lot!
