I was just checking all of my fluids and noticed that my coolant was a little brown and grainy around the radiator cap. I just had my radiator, hoses and thermostat replaced. It is not running hot and the heater is blowing out hot air. Please let me know what could be wrong and what I should do?
I just did the same thing and unless you have a way to flush the whole system there will be some left over fluid in there. The only way to ally get it all out is to drain and fills. There was a lot of crud in my overflow tank as well, if its not running hot I would worry bout it. Just keep an eye on your levels and roll with it.
