Radiator: Service and Repair

At least once a year, the front face of the radiator should be cleaned. In northern climates, spring is a good time of year to do this cleaning, as road salt residue on the radiator can cause corrosion. Insects, leaves etc. can be removed by using compressed air to blow through the radiator from the rear towards the front of the vehicle. If compressed air is not available, water can be used by aiming the water hose at the rear face of the radiator flowing the water through the radiator towards the front of the vehicle.
