Radiator Cleaning
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.
CAUTION:
The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.
- Some conditions may require the use of warm water and a mild (non caustic) detergent.
- Clean the A/C condenser fins.
- Clean between the A/C condenser and radiator.
- Clean the radiator cooling fins.
- Straighten any damaged cooling fins.
NOTE:
Remove bugs, leaves, dirt and other debris by blowing compressed air through the engine side of the radiator.
Keep compressed air stream perpendicular to the core face and allow adequate distance of the air nozzle to the core face so not to cause fin damage.
