Chevrolet Sonic Repair Manual: Radiator Cleaning
Warning:
NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.
Caution:
The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.
Note:
Blow compressed air through the engine side of the radiator to remove any foreign material, such as insects, leaves, and dust.
- Warm water and mild soap may be needed in some conditions.
- Wash the A/C condenser fin.
- Wash the A/C condenser and radiator thoroughly.
