GeneralDisorder Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Probably dirty coolant. Flush the system. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thealleyboy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Jim: You should flush it both ways to really clean things out. You'll need two flushing tees; one at each heater hose. I always use Prestone Super Flush to dissolve any buildup in the rad or heater core. Once things are flowing freely again, you shouldn't have anything but bright green in your overflow tank. Don't forget to clean out the tank too as part of your coolant flush. good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
