Summer is coming

Hi

I just wanted mention something I did yesterday which was to remove my Grille and clean out the accumulated leaves, dead insects etc which collect in the front of the radiator and coolers.

I used compressed air, but a carefully applied hose would do the trick.

Its not a good idea to poke or scrape, the vanes are pretty soft and easily bent.

At least mine didn't look like this :eek:

Be careful using water (a hose) as grass seeds and the like may expand and do more damage.
IMHO the compressed air method is the best.

Hi

I agree totally, sometimes I don't know what I would do without a compressor :p

You can pick it all out with a little spiky screw driver thingy. It took me almost 5 hours (had a few days spare as I was waiting for parts from the U.K.)

For some reason I seemed to have a lot of feathery/furry stuff in mine that the air wouldn't get out. - I can be a bit obsessive like that though...:wasntme:

When blowing them out it's best to slip a bit of cardboard behind the condensor or the stuff gets blown straight into the coolers and rad.

Hi

Mine was mostly a few gums leaves and the odd insect so i used a combo of these techniques. I only needed to blow the air sideways across mine to dislodge stuff.

Great tip about the cardboard though mate :D
