## Description

AUTO_PART

Review: It worked perfectly for me! - I just bought the Bar's Leaks Liquid Aluminum Stop Leak and I’m truly sastified. After noticing a coolant leak from my car on my driveway and when I got to work, I was afraid that i might break down on the highway going to work or going home from work. At first, I was skeptical about using a stop leak product since I’ve never used one before nor did I hear anyone give me feedback about their experience with any leak but this one honestly exceeded my expectations. I am 100% happy with the results, I haven’t seen any leaks. I will top my coolant reservoir with coolant and see if the reservoir itself will decrease in coolant since I haven’t seen any drips under my car. It was straightforward, add the bottle into the reservoir since I didn’t have access directly to the radiator on my car. It has instructions on the bottle on how much and where to add the liquid to. My engine temperature is normal when driving and I’ve never seen it go up ever since adding this leak liquid. I can say I’m satisfied and for reference, I added full bottle into my reservoir and my vehicle is a fairly newer Jeep Grand Cherokee!
Review: Worked Fine On A Noticable Leak! - I bought this for my 2002 Dodge Durango which appeared to have a small leak near the bottom of the radiator. I noticed I was repeatedly adding a little coolant to keep the overflow tank measuring stick up to snuff. I didn't notice any major spotting, but in the past week had seen some coolant which had dripped under the engine. All the hoses, etc. checked out fine, but the leak had become noticeable. I bought one bottle and added it to the car. The bottle says to add it to the radiator, or lacking direct access through a pressurized cap to add through the overflow reservoir. I shook the bottle well. The fluid is a somewhat thick consistency. I followed the tips of a few people on-line and added most of the bottle in through the pressurized cap, then added less than a quarter of the bottle into the overflow. I capped the radiator and then ran the car for about 45 minutes. The bottle said 10-20 minutes but........ Anyway, the leak appeared to immediately stop. It has been over a week and I have not had to top off the coolant. I will update this review should anything change. Overall, reliable product from my experience.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My radiator leaking from the seam.  Slightly overheating.  Will this seal at the seam?**
A: It should,depending on how big the leak/crack is,the one on my semi truck was dripping big,half a gallon a day,I was worried bc that s a $2,000.00 repair,I bought it not expecting any results,since I had previously used Bars leak (the small silver bottle) and didn t work,so this was a prayer and a last hope, 5,000 mls later and not a leak,not extra coolant added,it is liquid aluminum,so it bonds to wherever the leak is and forms a sealing coat...I think of it as welding from the inside...I hope it works for you as it did for me,it really was an answer to prayer...I know I m a bit dramatic but it was.PS,try to follow recommended amount or as close as recommended,not much less and not much more,I used 2 bottles on a 11 gal radiator.God bless.

**Q: can it be used in a Tahoe plastic tank**
A: i used it in my volvo which has a plastic expansion tank and no problems. it won't fix big leaks but if you're losing just a little coolant over time and can't find the leak this is the stuff to use!

**Q: My volkswagen golf gti 2018 doesn’t have a radiator cap can i still put it in a coolant reservoir to seal my radiator leak?**
A: If direct access to radiator is not available, install in overflow tank. Please ensure overflow is pressurized before adding. 

DIRECTIONS

Allow engine to cool. Make sure engine is cool enough so radiator cap can be safely removed.
Shake well. Pour Bar’s Leaks Liquid Aluminum directly into radiator. One bottle treats systems up to 4 gallons. Use 1/2 bottle in 3 and 4 cylinder engines. TIP: If direct access to radiator is not available, install in overflow tank.
Fill radiator and overflow tank to proper level and reinstall radiator cap.
Drive/idle engine for 15 to 20 minutes. If leak continues, second application may be required or mechanical attention is needed. For severe leaks, like a blown head gasket, it is recommended to use Bar’s Leaks Head Gasket Fix or Blown Head Gasket Repair.
Leave Bar’s Leaks Liquid Aluminum in cooling system for continued protection.

If you have any other technical questions, feel free to contact our Technical Service Professionals at 800-345-6572 or if you would prefer you can use the contact us page on our website.

**Q: will this work on the head also?**
A: Try it...it's inexpensive.  Whether it works depends on the specifics of your problem.  I tried it on a 4 cylinder BMW with a new head and profile gasket and a slow leak.  It worked great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The brand is number one with me
*by T***K on June 30, 2021*

There was a problem with how I was able to get it in my radiator, other than it works. Here was the problem, not enough room for the product to get into the radiator. I put it in the recovery container. The whole reason I used Bar's Leak is because the Radiator was leaking. After checking it out more I went to have the Radiator replaced but the people who worked on it told me that I needed to have the rad. water pump and everything else replace dealing with the system. This Bar's leak product works to coat the entire system not just the Radiator. So that's why the person who told me it was going to cost $2500 was wrong. I trust Bar's Leak, and when needed, I will Trust Them again.
