<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Instant Radiator Repair Sealant Might Work
According to MyAutoRepairService.com, instant radiator repair sealant may work as a temporary solution in an extreme emergency. According to an expert review on CadillacForums.com (based on a GM Techlink from March 2004), Coolant System Seal Tabs (coolant pellets) are very effective if used in moderation.
On the Other: Radiator Repair Sealant Clogs Radiator Systems
According to Radiator.com, commercial radiator sealants can clog your radiator system, impeding the flow of coolant in the radiator core and abrading the water pump seals. And while MyAutoRepairService.com concedes instant radiator repair sealants may work, they do not recommend using them.
Bottom Line
While instant radiator repair might work as a temporary fix, it may also clog up your radiator system causing irreparable damage to your hoses and radiator. It may be better to continually add radiator fluid or water to your radiator as a temporary fix until you can have your radiator properly repaired.
