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.

6 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

Hello folks.. Today i was off and decided to clean up the front radiators. I was sure the rad were clean with a car with only 50K on it, it would certainly by still pretty clean...... Now folks look what i found when i took off the front bumper and have the first look at the rads... At the first look it was not so bad but when i separated the 2 rads i have been really surprised. While i was there i made some bumper touch up and repainted the black part of the bumper...now it really looks like new. So folks if you think like me that your rads are still clean...........

POST 2Original post

Nice job, find any artifacts? It made me feel good after cleaning out all of the accumulated debris.

POST 3Original post

I did the same job two days ago and mine were actually a lot cleaner than I expected (44k). But I'm glad I did it, just for the peace of mind. One less thing to worry about. Plus it's another thing that gets you more familiar with your car.

POST 4Original post

I first did mine at 11 years/20K miles for my car. They were a bit cleaner than the OP's, but not much. I now clean my radiators once a year as part of my maintenance schedule.

POST 5Original post

They should be cleaned once a year. The OP's were close to the worse I have cleaned... Great job!

POST 6Original post

Cleaning the radiators is on my short list. 52k - will post what I find.
