Radiator debris buildup June 19, 2014, 01:18:14 am Yahoo Message Number: 146994https://www.flickr.com/photos/organizeNoticed the LD running a little hotter than usual recently. The radiator coolant has been flushed and replaced on schedule and looked good. Recently one of the auto shows on PBS had a segment on debris buildup in the condenser and between it and the radiator. it seemedlike a good thing to check out. On the V10, the space between the condenser and radiator is accessed by removing a plastic cover at the bottom of the radiator. Removing it, I found a thick layer of compost, consisting of leaves and lots of bugs, mostly bees. This mess had block the bottom 2" or so of the condenser and radiator. This can't be good for maximum cooling. Used a bottle brush and compressed air to get the majority of the stuff out of the condenser and radiator. Then both were saturated with a strong solution of Simple Green and allow to soak, hopefully disolving the remaining oil, grease and solidified bugs, before rinsing..More details and photos.
