Cooling System Cleaner
« on: 08 February 2009, 19:31:55 »
Having just repaired a car with serious head gasket failure.., lots of oil and gunk in the cooling system, we are wondering if there is a chemical available that will 'degrease' or help remove all this oil and gunk from the cooling system or should we just keep flushing?

Various options ranging from the use of Fernox to Forte Coolant de-greaser.

I have had good success with traffic film remover in the past to.

I've heard you can use washing powder?

Would you use Persil or Ariel and would the expansion tank be whiter than white afterwards????  ::)
