brown fluid in radiator

Post by mwmorris »

Hey guys. The other day when I changed my thermostat I refilled my radiator fluid and noticed that as soon as I put it in it seemed to get all dirty with what looked like rust deposits in it. It definitely wasn't oil, it just looked like rust or something. Should I replace my radiator or just flush it or something? Let me know.

Well there are 2 ways you cna flush your rad. One take it to a Mechanic and get it done or 2. Go to Autozone or a similar store and buy the rad flushing kit. It has adapeters and will use a regular garden hose. I have done mine but I am located in canada so your store willbe Autozone or something.
Thanks,
