White scale in radiator

Featured Replies

I noticed the other day there is white scale deposit in my radiator. What does this mean? I forget, but I know its not good. I'm guessing radiator flush?

minerals..

very hard?

great involuntary block repairer, but soobs don't much need that.

bd, Im kinda confused on ur post. Do you want me to see how hard the white stuff is? They are white flakes floating around in the coolant and there is some sitting in the lip where the radiator cap goes.

Mr. Deep,

Please excuse bgd his intellect is so high he believes he can communicate

with you on a ethereal plane.

 

He is referring to minerals found in tap water that may be coming out of solution.

 

Someone may have changed the coolant and used tap water as the mix agent.

It is recommended practice to only use distilled water for the reason.

 

A drain, back flush, and refill may be in order.

 

His other reference to block sealer well... I guess the flakes could plug holes but..

concentrate real hard

maybe he will communicate with you.

Haha thanks for the translation. Noticed you're in PA. Where in PA are you? I'm in philly.

You are welcome.

 

I hail from the other side of the state near P-burgh,

about 50 clicks east of the "big"? city

 

Latrobe is closest town of note (Arnie Palmer, ex-Rolling Rock Beer).
