My Indy, whom I have dealt with for years, has always been fair with me and saved me a lot of $, but they have told me over and over not to use Barr's Leak, that it will only cause more problems than it solves and in the long term cost me more. Now my wife's 93 cse has a radiator leak - very minor right now, and they gave me a $500 estimate for new one. They said I could probably get by for awhile, since it is so minor, but when I mentioned Barr's Leak as a possible solution, they again said don't do it.
Everyone on this BB swears by it, so I feel I've finally come to a crossroads: either go ahead and use it and risk the wrath of my trusted mechanics, or just let it go and replace the radiator when it gets worse.
I have no problem with spending the money for the radiator, but if there is a cheaper, safer solution, why not use it?
