2012 Infiniti QX56 Radiator leak/cracked Fixed for FREE 

Worked for me before heading on a trip. God bless youtube and people that contribute to it!

Thank you! I just got the hot, high pressure coolant shower today. This is exactly what I was thinking about but I was worried about getting rid of those fins. I am glad to find out it can be done!

You sir are my hero! Same thing happened with my wife’s 2012 QX. I used a dremmel , cut the hose and added a new hose clamp and viola!

This is true, if you go to the workshop with this problem, they gonna ask you to replace the whole radiator. Thanks for your tips.

Thanks a lot for the idea. The Nissan dealer told me it'll cost near USD 1000 (in Dubai) to fix it, but I'll go your way. May need to apply a bit of Bison kit glue on the nipple just to be safe. Update: it's been a month now since I did it (I used Indian Head Shellac) and it's holding just fine, but eventually I will change the whole left side plastic header for $125 at a repair shop.

Thanks it worked..had same issue!!!

Thank you for sharing.....nice detail video

I have the same problem currently. And thanks for the video. I will fix it tomorrow. Very helpful video.

That's my issue right now. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing

Great video bro. I have the exact same problem. Thanks for the info! 🎥😎

This worked for me I had the same exact problem

Literally the samething I'm going through right now what you use to trim it

What is the name of the part that was cracked?

What type of coolant did you use? I have same problem right now.

just got sprayed with hot coolant after bumping coolant hose on hot engine while working on battery terminals. the expansion tank hose broke that plastic nipple. i sheared the fins with pliers immediately as a temporary fix. was hoping this vid had some other solution to completely eliminate this concern. read on a forum someone did something with jb weld and a brass nipple fitting.

Jeremy, thank you for the video. My wife's QX56 has the exact same issue. Just to be clear, your suggestion is trimming the fins on the fitting attached to the radiator then sliding the hose further up? I want to make sure I don't trim the wrong thing.

I had a 2005..went through radiator caps every 4 months..When you would hard accelerate it owuld spew coolant all across the engine..

I think I have the same problem, under my hood looks exactly the same. Is there anyway I can CALL you and you talk me through this Jeremy? I want to do EXACTLY what you did and only seeing the end result in the video isn't enough for me since I don't work on cars. But I'll be a fast learner to save $1000! How can I reach you?

What did you use to trim it?

Lol I have the same issue right now and I did the same thing 😂, but mine is leaking now under the coolant tank cap.

Wow, thats the thickest accent i’ve ever heard (from someone that can only speak one language) Please put subtitles next time. :-)
