Troubleshooting
Leak persists after application.
Ensure the leak is within the product's 0.9 mm sealing capability. Larger leaks may require professional repair. Also, verify that the product was added correctly to the radiator and the engine was run for the recommended time.
Coolant level drops after use.
Check for leaks elsewhere in the cooling system. While Bar's Leaks aims to stop small leaks, it doesn't guarantee a fix in every situation.
Product seems ineffective.
Make sure you followed the instructions correctly, and the engine ran for the complete time period. If the issue still persists, the leak might be too large for the product to handle.
