hi ppls ive got a vt i just done a radiator change about a yr ago and am having problems ive got a leak in transmission cooler on the radiator and i am getting a orange sorta crap through the radiator in the water is this the case.......... im going to go buy a new radiator and im wondering what product or is there a procedure to flush this crap out when i put in a new radiator in any help would be great thanks

The orange colour has me confused because transmission fluid is red. Are you using coolant in the radiator or just plain water?

[chargedvx6]

Coolant is green and trans fluid is red= orange

Coolant is green and trans fluid is red= orange

Yellow and red = orange
Red and green = brown

Nulon radiator flush, follow their directions, make sure heater is full on when you do it. There other brands if you like, Holden does one but I have not used it, yet. Holden even mentions it in the VT owners manual. Also, if the radiator is under 12 months old, you may have a warranty claim!

When you do get it sorted make sure you put the proper coolant in or you will be in for many more dollars down the track due to corrosion.
