Radiator Cleaning

[Vista glass]

I read , I learned, I did. Wow was there a lot of material in my radiators.It looks like I have gone where no man has before.





My temps were elevated around 215 on the gauge. AC not cooling very well. Neither of these scenarios are desirable here in sunny Florida. Thank you 986 forum members for the guides. I even found a U tube video. Sweet.
This forum laid out the process and the procedures. I took a little longer than some but I was checking on everything made visible. I had done the Frunk release hack so when I was removing the cover the release cable was attached to the towing eye tether. No big deal just a surprise that wasn't in the guides.




I fixed a few other discoveries while thus engaged. I certainly need to get a box of those plastic paneling rivets ! Funny the pre-purchase inspection did not mention the loose and missing parts. After seeing the variety and size of the stuff was in the radiators I decided to screen the intake ports. I used aluminum screen and epoxy to attach it.



I will advise if that screen attachment method is effective enough to endure time temperature and rapid forward motion.
