Ferrari Mailing List: Re: cleaning of radiator

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

Yes overheating problem at slow speed in town. But my AC never worked in 9 years I have had the car. I  never tried to find out why.So, I thought, if I take the condenser out, which I did and it is REALLY REALLY beat up, I'll have more air going directly to the radiator. Hopefully it will help.

But like I wrote, I cleaned the outside and painted it BEFORE asking about the importance of cleaning the inside. My bad.

Michel -

Why did you take the radiator out in the first place? 

Overheating problems?

1981 308 GTSi: I took the radiator out and cleaned the outside  and straightened every single blade. I painted it too.

My question is, is it really worth to have it send to a shop to have the inside cleaned ?

I was told they put it in a tank in special liquid. Now my brand new paint will be ruined. I'll have to paint it again. Not that painful to do, but I just need to know if it's worth having it put in a tank ?

 

Thank you!

Michael Savard
