Hi all,
Looking for some advice before I make a decision on whether to scrap my beloved 04 2.5tdi cab.
Had a moderate front end collision yesterday. The bonnet is crumpled, front grille smashed along with damage to the bumper. The crash bar behind appears to be buckled and the radiator has serious damage, confirmed by it dumping my coolant immediately on the road and any attempts to refill are quickly leaked out. The fans are damaged also and there is a really loud whirring noise when revving the vehicle. Is this damage something that can be repaired with reasonable cost or is it a lost cause. My insurance is 3rd party and although the car is of modest market value I really do not want to part with it. Any information on probable damage would be appreciated also any places to get cheap parts...2nd hand no problem. Its metallic silver. Thanks
