Flushing Radiator! Where? Overheating?
 

Well I think my radiator is blocked. The car overheats quite often now, even driving it without boosting.

I have done a compression test - the head gasket is perfect, as is the compression in cylinders (I'd hope so with metal headgasket etc.)

Anyway, my mechanic Tony (Speedworks) says the radiator is blocked. Has anyone else had this problem?

And does anyone know where to get it flushed/cleaned and how much it would roughly be?

Thanksies :cool:

take it out and send it to natrad...price, dunno

How long does it take to flush? I need it on the road for the 7th. Might find somewhere local!

Just keep driving with it till your engine fails, then repalce the motor and wait for it to fail again, much more fun and expensive than replacing the radiator.

100 odd for a reverse flush...

depending on core condition you might need recore too...
