leak between the engine and the cooling system..repair shop..towing

 

Customer Question

Hi, I have a Daewoo lanos 199here is a leak between the engine and the cooling system, in a "coupler", and my repair shop said that they couldn't get the part, nor could they order the part, nor will they put in a part that I get from the nearest dealer (about 100 miles away). So is it worth my while to pay for the towing, and everything else to have the car back and fixed up, or should I junk it and continue to use a taxi, or take a bus.

 

Country: United States
Make: Daewoo
Model: Lanos
Year: 1999
Engine: 1.6L 4cyl

Already Tried:
to identify the cooling system coupler that is leaking. It is on or in the engine, and connects the engine to the radiator.

dl250567 :

I find it strange that a repair shop cannot order a spare part for your vehicle. It is also strange they wont fit the part even if you get it from the nearest dealer.

dl250567 :

I would order the part yourself from the dealer and then either try fit it yourself or find another repair shop to fit it for you.
