I did a quick race against my friend who has a '94 C280 and it was about an even race. Well when we got to his house I popped the hood and noticed coolant had squrited out onto the front of the frame. I noticed a crack in the radiator. Not extemely bad, but it's there.
Is there something I can do to patch it up or about how much will I pay to get it replaced?
Since we're on this topic, I'll make an attempt to ask a noobish question
The radiator you talking about is for cooling the engine right?
How does Air Conditioning radiator looks like, and where it is located in the engine bay. I was looking at it few day ago and all I saw the front monted radiator with vents, my intuition tells me there should be separate for a/c but I don't see it. Or are they two in one type of thing?
I gotta replace it, my a/c doesn't work coz the radiator is busted. Its getting warmer so I need to do that quick

just go to uap/napa, they'll hook you up with an oem replacement for pretty cheap, mine cost 275 cdn (a lexus rad that's twice as thick!!)
you could drain the coolant, dry off around the crack, sand it to roughen it, then slab some jb weld on there, it did the job on my cracked rad for 3 months
Man, I wouldn't take a radiator from a junkyard. It's probably been there for a while. It's not trustable at all. It would flake off on the drive.
Oldman was right. You can get OEM ones cheap.
If you do replace it yourself, make sure to pressure test the system. They sell pressure testers at most big parts stores as far as I know. Pump it up and let it sit for 10min.
