How does one remove sludge almost the consistency of mud in the radiator of a 2000 Ford Taurus?

I don't know for sure, but can't you just get a radiator flush kit to get out the sludge? It's worth asking the guy at the parts house about. In such extreme cases of cooling system sludge build up, I would take it to a shop for a professional flushing and cleansing. I would suggest a car radiator specialist type shop - they'll know how to NOT cause more damage to the system. See "Related Questions" below for more about flushing it yourself


What causes thick gray sludge in your radiator?

Thick gray sludge in the radiator can be caused by a buildup of corrosion, oil contamination, or a coolant leak mixing with debris. This sludge can block the radiator channels, leading to overheating and potential damage to the cooling system. It's important to flush the radiator and identify the root cause to prevent further issues.

How to flush a 1993 Buick Regal Radiator?

It's best to remove the radiator and take it to a shop to have them do it professionally. It usually doesn't cost too much and they can make any minor leak repairs while they're at it. When they're done your radiator will be as good as new. Chemicals and power flushing of radiators will only remove loose material. If you have any compacted sludge in the radiator tubes you will not be able to flush them out without having the professional take care of it for you.
