DCCV check this out

[00blkV6]

So i got my new dccv in today and decided to replace it. I havent had heat and car has been known to overheat while car is sitting.. Anyway when i bought the car 5 months ago it didnt have heat now I know why lol.. I dont know what this lady did to the car but I wasnt good. That is Sand and it was compacted in there pretty good. Its a 2000 V6

WOW Thats all i can say.

just imagine all the other places that you have with just as much sand

 

[00blkV6]

Yeah i know. As soon as i saw that i flushed the system.

 

[De-marko]

It is sand?

I know that Bar's leak and other band-aid coolant leak crap can reallly clog some passages.

I think that I would also replace the thermostat and inspect or replace the water pump. Pumping sand is likely to have eroded away part of the impeller.

That looks bad. I would flush out the whole system.

Exactly what I was thinking.

That looks like the stuff people pour into their coolant to 'seal leaks magically'

 

[SPSully]

kinda looks like someone crammed a branch in there LOL

wow!

Check every hose for free flow, thermostat, water pump, everything. Flush them out good, those particles can get back and ruin a new DCCV. Flush!
