Subject:      Clean clogged Radiator? - 83.5 1.9l
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Volks,


I seem to remember a discussion on the list recently about cleaning out
clogged rads.  I searched the archives several different ways but I couldn't
find anything helpful and my local rad shop won't touch it.  The rad is
aluminum and plastic, I think, so hot-tanking is not doable.  Mine is full of
calcium and lime deposits and probably some stop-leak goop.  Replacing it is
rather expensive and it is in good shape physically with no leaks.  It's just
clogged.


Anyone have any experience with cleaning these out?


TIA
