megramirez Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Waiting in line on a hot day to cross over from Mexico into the US, my 350Z was idling for about half an hour. Right after crossing, I was pulled aside for secondary inspection. As soon as I popped open the engine, the radiator blew and the coolant spilled all over the concrete floors. Upon inspection i noticed the cap had blown off and part of the top of the radiator tore off with it. While idling, I kept looking at the temperature gauge but it never showed that the engine was getting hot. Has this happened to anyone?

Toon Chris Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The Rads don't last for ever so I'd guess it was the rad that gave up on you. Should be a simple swap out but bad luck if you were stranded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
