DIY: Simple LEAKING AirCon repair SAVED us 1322€ to 3000€ by actually REPAIRING it! 

These construction, maintenance, and installation "professionals" are 9/10 the biggest incompetent scams you run into. It's an absolutely broken market. You would think it would function better with so much competition, yet here we are.

Im in the US and I probably would have tried Flex Seal first but your solution should last. My landlords maintenance crew couldn't figure out after 3 or 4 visits, that they forgot the seal for the bathtub. It only leaked when the tub had more than a inch of water.

Not only fixing open source but also closes source mechanical items. We truly do not deserve you! Seriously though, after renting for so long, after being a home owner, there are a lot more repairs that I am doing on my house, but I have not had to go back and redo them unlike some of the places that I rented where the repair people have come out multiple times for the same thing that was "Fixed". I think you see this a lot because everyone in the chain is trying to maximize profits, so lots of corners get cut.

That white stuff might be aluminum corrosion.... aluminum turns into a white dust when expose to corrosive conditions and slowly flakes off.... its very resistance to corrosion but the oxidized layer is soft and can be eroded over time. Maybe the radiator is aluminum instead of stainless? the reason I learned about this is a Have a 2000 honda insight which is nearly 100% aluminum, and many of those in the north of the US actually get corrosion damage due to salty conditions.... and the result is white flakey metal rather than "rust". I'd say either that or calcium build up from water leaking from the system???

Edit, regular maintenance is also needed so things "thin metal" things can last 30+ years. Was this the first time they maintained it? 15 year maintenance cycle? I'm glad you can do the maintenance your self =)

Rene, was it your intention to re-enact the Soyjak pointing meme in this video's thumbnail?

How u been?
