New Radiator Cleaning

[craig132]

hey all. ive recently brought a new radiator (aluminium one). would it be a good idea to clean it out with distilled water or something before i put it in the car? it dosent say anything about doing this but it seems like a logical idea? cheers

If it is new then should be fine, but it doesn't hurt to do it I guess...

I am assuming you just flush it to get rid of any dirt, dust, small partials that may have been sitting in there.

Just flush the distiled water, dry it then install it.

Like when I put in new rear disk brakes, I gave the disk a clean with brake cleaner.
