Why do you have to remove and wash it if it’s not faulty?
It’s unnecessary

@OP The design and working of the cooling systems of an automobile doesn't require those radiator washing as you have asked ..

The coolant in the radiator ensures it doesn't freeze or boil at extreme temperatures , it also ensures the path way doesn't corrode and clear of debris .

However, over time, the cooling units does degrade and come in form of sludge down the radiator... the radiator on Its own is designed with a drain plug under it to release debris and coolant

For me , I would rather suggest a replacement when you notice leakage, or inefficiency in cooling..

Some of these car parts in some makes tend to selfdestruct or degrade after a period of 10yrs ... e.g. BMW & Benz ..

If you are using the recommended coolant make properly mixed , you are hardly to get issues..



Have you also wondered why tokunbo cars always have their coolant tank neat and with the proper liquid inside ?

When proper maintenance is adhered to .. you are unlikely to bother about things as this ..(washing radiator )

You normally don't have to remove and wash your radiatior because you've not been driving the car for a while. You will only need to do that if you've driven if for years and probably through muddy area then the radiator fins must have been clugged with muds or debris, this will likely lead to your car overheating if you drive for a distance with your car AC on. I suffered this issue until i have panel beater remove and wash mine for #2500 last week. Now am totally enjoying the vehicle again

GAZZUZZ:
Replace radiator. Drain fluid water and pour fresh coolant.

Wrong dude. Some cars like Nissan and Mitsubishi still use old engines that rust and if parked for a long time with water radiator will contain rust and dirt in cooling system making car warm faster and cause car to consume more fuel and need more regular radiator refill until you flush it out. Talking from experience.

I did the same thing but mine still overheats. The mechanic said it’s the top gasket that got damaged. I sincerely doubt that

Its not, your radiator should warm up accordingly so that the engine don't overwork and burn more fuel

valarinz:


It's a good and reliable car, just get one that's free of issues and you're good to go
