So we flushed out the rad Monday. Here is how we did it, I'll post the pics in a later post.

Inspect for leaks at the top of the rad especially as the pressure raises when the engine is switched off. If there are leaks fix that first before flushing.

My thermostat was replaced about 8months ago so we didnt touch that.

1. Switch off engine, open bonnet for engine to cool. Run water on the rad from water hose to cool it down.

2. Open rad cover, disconnect the overflow bottle and the big fat hose at the top of the rad.

3. Place the water hose in the rad cover and let the water flow out the big fat hose until it gets clear.

4. Start the engine while the water hose is in the rad and let the water run until it gets clear don't run engine for too long, should be just about a minute.

5. Unscrew butterfly drain plug at the bottom left of the rad and let all the water drain out of the rad.

6. Screw on the butterfly drain plug.

7. Repeat steps 3-6.

8. Reconnect the big fat hose at the top of the rad.

9. Place over flow hose in upright position.

10. Pour coolant in rad until it reaches the top of the rad

11. Clean overflow bottle we used purple blaster.

12. Pour coolant in overflow bottle until it reaches "full".

13. Reconnect overflow bottle.

14. Screw on rad cap. If the cap was never replaced now is a good time.

15. Start engine with A/C off and monitor temp gauge until rad fans trip on, fans should trip on when gauge reads a little below half.


That's it

My rad has a small leak at the top I carried it to Trinity Radiators in St. James not too far from Long Circular Mall. They were fixing the rad in a CS3 when i arrived.
They would have to replace the plastic on the top of my rad. Costing a total of 650.

[ronsin1]

^^ a brand new Brass top dual core radiator is $1600.00 I changed it is the CS3 a couple months ago.

To be honest I would have changed the Radiator before repairing as it becomes week and can leak again.

Just had some issues with the CS2 up arima side saw the gauge going up when I checked the heater line has a crack in it. it has now been repaired and I back in the game.

[ZeroOne]

1600 is a lot to shell out.

How long should the repair last?

[ShaKarz]

fellaz where can i get the bumper lips to buy for cs3 lancer?

[ronsin1]

1600 is a lot to shell out.

Should last you but there is always the issue that it is weaker now

[QG]

1600 for brass radiator aint bad because we were getting for 2000 i believe.

We ended up buying a CS2 plastic rad...for about $800

[ronsin1]

^^ yuh need to know the right people may have gotten that CS2 Radiator for free

[CS3A_GLX]

3 core mishimoto...2.5k!!! anyhow, thaz overkill but my plastic stil going strong...*knock on wood*

free rad who where? drop ah PM.

[turbo_beast369]

ZeroOne I think you should have taken out the thermostat when flushing because remember the job of the thermostat is to block the coolant from circulating throughout the entire head and block which would allow the temp to raise...

CS3A_GLX you go need that mishimoto 3 core rad for d 4G93T ...thas d radiator made for the EVO's not so?

[CS3A_GLX]

yep yep! not sure if its the rad for evo's but i believe mitsubishi motors inhouse development team makes their own rads! aftermarket parts is what make your pockets go dry!!!

[TURBOT]

sigh , i buy back a radiator from diamond motors for 5k

Usually the thermostat should be removed but in my case it was not necessary as the the entire head and block that the thermostat blocked was flushed when we replaced the thermostat

ronsin1 Like I was a day late

[turbo_beast369]

^^^yeah but that was 8 months ago you changed it...so in that time frame the water passages would have mixed up with the old dirty coolant so u should have taken it out when flushing...my method would be slightly similar to yours but the difference is that after I run water thru the system till it gets clear I goin to fill the cooling system with normal water alone (thermostat removed) and give it a lil run on d road and build some temperature, then flush again, then drain as much as I could, install thermostat then top up with distilled water and coolant...I thinking bout throwing in some redline water wetter as well...

Are the OEM Mitsu floor mats avaiable locally?
YOM: 04-06

[CS3A_GLX]

[mety57]

[ZeroOne]

I want the OEM mats as well.

turbo_beast369 that method sounds good, its a lot to do though.

So once you have the time why not?

[turbo_beast369]

^^yeah is best you take the time and do something the proper way so you make sure you do a thorough job...

[ZeroOne]

I just came back from trinity radiators paid 600 to replace the tank got back a new OEM one.

The guy confirmed that:

1. The top hose is the one to take out when flushing.
2. The thermostat must be removed too.

Pics coming later
