So my radiator busted right, so I go and buy a new one. Nice and light. I have to flush out the whole radiator system anyways so I went to get all my supplies and **** so heres everything and heres what comes out of my radiator.
All of that filth on the bottom was in my cooling system. Hope nothing else F's up.

This is what was in my reservoir The whole top seal all around was fail.This is the new one. All nice and aluminum from Koyo.

 

yuck!

 

going through that now :/ going to try to find one locally this weekend.

 

What a mess. Goodluck hope you dont have any more issues.

 

you need to learn to hit enter...but yes alot of us have gone through this

 

dats what mine looked like...good luck!

 

heh heh... true. Presentation etiquette fail. I'm chuckling at that. But I'm also mindful of how completely freaked out I would be if my engine bay got covered in crap like that.

Last week I had my radiator overflow reservoir off the car because I realized there was a layer of crud on the bottom few inches. Soaked it in bleach for a day, then blasted it clean with hot water. It came out nice. I figure to have my radiator flushed this Spring, too.

OP, the mess in your bay I understand, but I don't see what you're getting on about with those photos top-down into coolant fluid.

 

someone puked

 

Trust me. That doesnt look that bad at all! Its still green!

I hv worked on cars for friends and seen just plain brown!

Good Luck.

 

I was doin that to show all the nasty green buildup in the reservior
Well its green but it was kinda like someone added a little bit of jello mix to it so it was thick

 

I was going to comment along the same lines, your fluid from the rad actual still looks like what comes straight out of a brand new jug .. nice bright green ... now the over spray from the rad seam letting go that looks like crap, I remember mine when it did the same thing ... a real pain to clean up.

 

eeh it wasnt too hard to clean up. nothing a lil water couldnt take out

 

Looks like the seal between the rods and the tank failed. To bad we cant rebuild those.

 

Wow that sucks hope nothing else is messed up

 

I am sorry, but it was kinda funny what happened to you.
Anyways, good luck with your new rad.

 

That sucks hope you have smooth sailing now...

 

I have never seen anything like it before with white stuff all over your engine bay. Very unusual for a new radiator, where did you buy that radiator from, hope it was brand spanking new.

 

I reread it. His original one failed so he he bought a new one. The new radiator isn't the one that failed.

 

i gots it from importrp on the GB's on the forum. with an extra 10% cuz im good like that and i told him so.
