Radiator Repair

How much will it cos me to replace my car radiator?

I have an R reg VW Polo and I think the radiator has blown (i think). It started one night when my car overheated. I refilled it with water that night but it went back down to the min level again overnight. Could this be the radiator? If so how much would it cost me to replace and could rad sealant be used?

1. It could be the radiator however could be any number of other things too. I'ld get it checked out if you can't see the radiator leaking because you usually just throw money away when you start guessing at what a problem is.
2. Could be the radiator... but it could also be a blown head gasket. The first thing you need to do is locate the leak. If you find the leak... there you go... may be radiator, a hose, etc. If you cannot find a leak, it will most likely be the head gasket... but this should be checked by a mechanic with a PSI tester. Rad replacement... @ $250 USD Head gasket replacement... @ $650 USD LOCATE THE LEAK - ITS IMPORTANT - Good Luck!
