flushing the rad
« on: 20 April 2009, 10:01:31 »
im sure someone said on here that they take off there rad and flush/ soak/clean it over nite with fernox? im due to change the oil cooler tomorrow and thought that as ive got to drain and reflush the coolant why not take off and flush the rad overnite.

but looking for fernox all i find is a product for flushing household rads and boilers. is this right?

this one I think

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Central-Heating-Clenser-Fernox-F3-500ml_W0QQitemZ310135962479QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ?hash=item310135962479&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1686%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

there is a forte product which is supposed to be good , esp if you need to flush mayo as you'll need to clean the rest of the system as well, not just rad of course.
