How do we clean the radiator? The holes are clogged and it is boiling up.

Pour a cooling system flush in radiator, run a few minutes (accoring to instructions), then flush system with water.

If radiator is clogged up bad enough, I would replace it, they cost about $130.00.

You can also take to radiator repair shop and have it cleaned and side tanks replaced for $70 or so.
