Its not just the crap you pull out from in and behind the 4 rads thats a (cooling) problem, but in a lot of the area's around the world where theres a lot of moisture / salt / humidity the aluminium radiators corrode and leak coolant and R134A refrigerant.
The replacement rads are bg business in Europe....not so bad here in Australia.
I pulled a dustpan of junk out of each side of my rads when I cleaned them after 7 years of use - now I remove the bumper and clean out every 2 years.
