simpo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 So have you flushed the rad or water bottle or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastlad123 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I took bottom hose off rad and run a hose through it and washed expansion bottle about a week ago. Now theres more gunk than there was the first time. Ill do it again every couple days and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTEye Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ive seen that on mk2 golf Gti's before, they had a water cooled oil cooler which used to fail and gunk up the expansion bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
