Cleaning aB14 radiator

[X_Factor]

So i had some overheating issues for the past two weeks....nothing major so i decided to hav the rad cleaned
When they took off the bottom tank and tried to flow water through the water veins some barely flowed and some were blocked

Woweeee. Can such a build-up of sediment be prevented? Can your choice of coolant play a role?

Looks like a wasa water special

well i must say that the last time i serviced the rad in this manner was 2yrs ago
between then till now i did do the general flush every maybe 5-6mths
There were times where i used water alone , np radol and the 20$ coolant now and then so i dunno how it could build up in this manner since its more like mud than rust

i guess once you see the brown crud like build up around the rad cap you should organize to do a service and it only cost me 160.00

I would expect a 50/50 coolant mix is recommended by the manufacturer to reduce corrosion and raise the operation efficiency. If there is sediment build up, distilled water should be used to prevent it.
