Radiator Care
The windward surfaces of the radiator can become contaminated with insect debris, leaves and other particles after a certain period of vehicle operation. In this case, the blockage will affect the operation of the air conditioner and cooling system, and may cause the air conditioner to malfunction, as well as the cooling system to overheat, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the radiator and condenser.
The front side of the radiator surface should be cleaned once a year. Pressurized water or air can be used to clean the radiator fins and blow out leaf and insect debris. The condenser is flushed by direct blowing through the radiator.
Water and air pressure should not exceed 150 kPa. Pressure above 150 kPa can damage the condenser and radiator fins.
The heatsink fins must be maintained in a condition that ensures good heat transfer. they cannot be brushed. Otherwise, damage to the plates may result in reduced heat transfer.
Under no circumstances should water be sprayed on a hot radiator, as the release of hot steam can be harmful. The use of cleaning water can only be used when the engine is idle or cool.
Removing
Put the car on a two-post lift, apply the parking brake, turn off the ignition and disconnect the wire terminal "masses" from the battery.
Remove engine crankcase protection (see here).
Remove front bumper (see here).
Drain the liquid from the engine cooling system (see here).
Flush the engine cooling system (see ibid).
