1998 Pontiac Sunbird Radiator clogged


Due to a lack of coolant maintenance on my part, I was told my radiator was clogged. I was told it had to be replaced because clogs can not be cleaned out because they are calcium buildups and caustic chemicals like they used in the old days can not be used on radiators. (I have never put water in my radiator).

Does this sound accurate to you?

Hi there,

Remove the radiator and have a radiator specialist clean & flow test it. They will be able to tell you if it is serviceable or not.
