: Radiator leakage in United Bravo – repair o r replace for better economy?

My 2019 United Bravo has developed a small radiator leak near the top corner. The mechanic suggested using a sealant o r repairing it instead of replacing the whole radiator, which costs around Rs. 10,000–12,000. I’m concerned about long-term reliability and fuel efficiency if I go for a quick fix. For Bravo owners in Pakistan, what’s the most economical solution—repair, sealant, o r full radiator replacement? Also, any trusted local radiator shops you’d recommend?

For a small radiator leak in the United Bravo, your best option depends on the leak size and location:

Minor Corner Leak:
If the leak is very small like a pinhole, a local radiator repair using solder o r epoxy works fine. Costs about Rs. 1,500–2,500 and usually lasts 6–12 months.

Sealant Option:
Coolant sealants like Liqui Moly o r Abro radiator stop leak are a temporary fix — okay for emergency use, but they can clog small coolant passages. Not ideal long-term.

Replacement Option:
A new Bravo radiator costs around Rs. 10,000–12,000, including fitting. If your car’s radiator is already rusted o r repaired multiple times, replacement is more reliable and keeps cooling efficient, which helps maintain fuel economy and engine life.

💡 Recommendation:
For a budget-friendly but reliable solution, get it professionally repaired once. If the leak reappears within a few months, go for a new radiator. Avoid continuous use of sealants — they save short-term money but can cost more in engine repairs later.
