This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just noticed a ton of bugs imbedded in the front radiators. I could not find a way to reach my hand in there to manually clean them, and using a hose just imbeds them deeper in the fins How do you all clean them?

POST 2Original post

Here is a link to a Boxster procedure and the 996 is very similar (as I would expect with the wide-body C4S). Basically remove the front bumper cover and ducts. I guess about 1.5 hours. <a href="http://www.realtime.net/~rentner/Porsche/Radiator/Radiator.html" target="_blank">Radiator Cleaning</a>

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

woah.... Thanks Loren, but that is just a bit too complex for me!! I'll pay somebody to clean them for me then!

POST 4Original post

I also noticed alot of bugs and leaves in the front radiators. I used a Shop-Vac and blew all of the leaves, dirt, and bugs out. Worked pretty well for me.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
