[QUOTE="vr2turbo, post: 1064139884, member: 92229"] If only a little of sediment then radiator is not clogged. If clogged, then need to send to radiator specialist, open and wash. If you need chemical flush, off the shelves stuffs should do, or get from spare part shop, but make sure you follow the instructions on it's usage as those stuff are corrosive. Finally, make sure you completely flush out everything before refill with water and coolant. What green coolant are you using? As far as I know those coolant are of no use. I tried many brands and they disappear after one or two months only, means water turn clear. That was why I change over to the Toyota coolant. More expensive but good, can last up to 1 to 2 years. Not sure how you will flush the radiator but most people release from the drain plug of the radiator. Don't do that. Remove the top hose joining engine to radiator (radiator side). This is water return from engine to radiator, so when flushing the chemical out, plug your running water hose into the refill hole at radiator top and then start the engine. Water comes out from hose, clean water goes in from refill hole. Flush until water comes out clear and clean. Let me see if can find my photos to show you.....found it....
