I have a crack in my 1.7 stainless steel heat exchanger. I did a water test by plugging up the ends and one of my pipes in the right exchanger leaks out all the water from inside the stainless steel covering in about 15 second. Who fixes these things? Any idea how expensive a repair will be? Thanks in advance

I agree. if 2.0L it might give me pause but the 1.7-1.8L versions typically go for around 400. a pair used. If me Id drop the 150. on the OE pair to keep the car running & perhaps take your time scouring EBAY for a single.
