How do you flush the radiator on a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT?
Purchase a PRESTONE flush kit, radiator flush, and new antifreeze. There is directions on package. You will be splicing a 'tee'into heater hose return line with a garden hose adapter,adding the flush to the radiator, and attaching the garden hose to the tee fitting. After running the engine for about 10 minutes with the flush in it, you will attach a garden hose to the tee and push all the crap right out the rad. Works good. Add antifreeze. Done.

What is a radiator flush?
The radiator tends to clog up after many years of operation. This causes poor coolant circulation and over heating of the engine. Flushing the radiator will clean this out and restore its cooling capability. Doing it yourself is a messy job but it can be done. You need to collect the old antifreeze also as it is toxic. Buy a radiator flush solvent and just follow the instructions on the container. Hope this is helpful

Why is the bottom of a central heating radiator cold and what can be done about it?
Most likely it's a collection of dirty sludge called magnetite partly restricting water flow through though the radiator. Only way around it it to flush it out. Best way is to drain the radiator , remove it, take it out side & flush it out with a hosepipe. Wet & dirty to do it yourself. Might be easier to get a plumber.
