Subject: Re: Coolant systems (clean and properly maintained) by jhammons01 on 2009/7/1 16:13:02 My coolant system is completely stock. I replaced the water pump, thermostat and radiator with NEW components last summer. I cleaned out between the condenser and radiator and I keep it clean by pulling the cowling off every now and again. I cut the cowling so that the holes that the hoses go through are now slots. I only need to take the ~20 screws out of the top and lift it off to see the trash in there. I use the cordless drill and a nut driver set from Target to make the screw removal a very quick process. I've flushed my system ~6 times and yet it still turns ruddy brown within days. there must have been a sh!tload of corrosion in there. Each time I do it, I pull the over flow bottle and take it to the sink where I can clean all that rust out of the bottom. |
