kseal or steel seal ? Is there a difference ?

[droodle]

Looking at giving one of these a go .. is there a difference ?

looking at the instructions the kseal seems easier in usage to a non mechanical mind whereas there are a lot more steps (ie mixing with anti freeze) for the steel seal.

Anyone used either ?

thanks.

Several have tried them, with mixed results. Do a search for them and you'll come up with several threads

Tried both recently on a Freelander 1.8 petrol.
Kseal is very similar to Radweld & I don't think it would be any good at anything other than sealing a small radiator leak, the problem we had was a bit more serious, suspect head gasket,
tried with Kseal without sucsess so then tried Steel seal which is rather more involved as it has to be mixed with anti freeze & the engine has to be brought up temprature several times this took about five hours then it has to stand overnight before running again.
unfortunatly this was also a failure,
You don't say what your problem is but for what it's worth my advice would be to get it sorted properly rather than mask something which could come back and bite you.
Both these products are likely to cause problems on a radiator that may already be partially blocked with years of corrosion.
another difference in the two products is price, Kseal about £9 Steel seal £30 + £15 for anti freeze.
