Thats a good habit, but no substitute for the occasional, full on cleaning of the radiators.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not much to really say but I found a very easy way to clean the leaves and garbage from the front radiators. We have a Mile vacuum cleaner and have an attachment that is flexible and used to vacuum out from under the refrigerator. It also works for the vehicle. I was easily able to vacuum all the junk from the radiator. Best of Luck....

POST 2Original post

I use the leaf blower. Every time I wash the car, I blow out the front air vents/radiators, before they get wet, and once again after they have been washed out. Lots of stuff always comes out.

POST 3Original post

Thats a good habit, but no substitute for the occasional, full on cleaning of the radiators. What I found in mine Good thread: How much dirt could really be in there?
