Temp reading now .
« on: 03 March 2012, 10:46:41 »
I took the rad off and let it soak in rad flush overnight , then flushed ...quite dirty water came out . All put back together and took it for a run , temp sitting about 92 were as before it was 95 then 100 . Does that sound about right and hopefully the over heating issues are now sorted . I did push along at a fast pace to test and that didn't seem to alter anything temp wise  :y

It would have been worth while either pressure washing it or blowing it with an air line from the back to front to remove any muck from the fins while it was out ;)

Be prepared to (possibly) replace the radiator in the near future. I had no luck flushing mine so bit the bullet and stuck a new one in ;)

Whatever it is... I didn't do it
