Author	Subject: Grey/brown Gunk in cooling system?
fugs Regular Location: Kilkenny Registered: 21 Dec 2009 Posts: 156 Status: Offline	Post #1 I seem to have alot of Grey/brown oily gunk in my cooling system. I noticed some in the intake manifold also. Oil in sump is perfect and no funny coloured smoke from exhaust! Anyone got any ideas what it might be!

Just do a couple of engine coolant flushes and take it from there. Its the cheapest option. I was getting it for aaaaaages after my heat exchanger went. The rad and matrix were full of crap. Make sure you bleed it out right afterwards ________________________________________ Nothing to see here

Post #7 its not a big issue.. just get the coolant checked for gasses tho sometimes standing engines can collect rust around some of the water lines but a good blast and a top up of antifreeze will sort it ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6 NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6
