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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got the front bumper off and Vacumned out debris. But was wondering if anyone has Used a product to clean the coils ( similar to what a/c techs use on Home a/c cooling coils) ? Any suggestions would be appreciated

POST 2Original post

Water is all that's necessary. Hose the crap out of them, reassemble, drive your car and stop obsessing.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Stop Obsessing ?, I'm not obsessing I'm looking for a way to clean my radiators and you don't have a clue, so you make a derogatory comment ? Your a Jackass !

POST 4Original post

Water is fine, don't have the pressure to high or you can fold over the aluminum.....definitely do not use a pressure washer. I have used a few cans of brake cleaner when needed and compressed air ......but typically a hose works best.

POST 5Original post

Also make sure you separate the condenser from the radiator to get anything in between......just unbolt it and it'll hang by the lines....

Quotes source post: 7306161

I don't think he was being derogatory at all. He made a friendly comment after telling you to wash out the rads. If you want help in the future you can't go around insulting people that take the time to respond. The use of water is fine and, as mentioned, remove the a/c rad from the cooling rad to clean in between. Look what I found between my rads in the Boxster.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quit obsessing and use a high concentrate cleaner Like 409 or Fantastic after water flushing then Flush again

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
