Hi guys
I would like to get recommendations for a place that can repair my leaking 8P s3 inter cooler with metal end tanks. preferred area would be around Pretoria. some say once it leaks its garbage but i think trying a repair would be worth it.
regards

Re: S3 intercooler repair
Pretty much all custom radiators and intercoolers are build by welding on tanks to standard cores.
Mine was done by Schalk at Schalk's Conversions. Maybe give him a call and see if he is able and interested to do it?

Hetdre radiators in vanderbijl
Meyerton radiators
Silverton Springs
best shops for an attempt at aluminium weld repairs. alternatively ask Hugo at Hetdre to quote you on a new intercooler made by Nissens...
