Best Way to Clean Front Radiator Debris

[Rickster2]

What is the best way to clean the radiators and housings on my '03 996TT?

If they are really dirty or never been cleaned then I suggest you remove the front bumper and then clean the AC condensers and radiators behind them.

Removing the front bumper is less than a 15 minute job.

I did this last week, It hilarious the amount of debris pour out of the scoop and between the condensor and radiator, Enough from each side to fill a dust pan if they have never been cleaned. Makes a huge difference. Search this forum for a link to directions with pictures... I do know the bumper, scoops and ac condensor are held in by only a phillips screws, t25 torqs screws and plastic clips.

I took a mirror and looked back in there on both sides, then took a vacuum with a very long narrow nozzle and sucked out a lot of debris....including two DEAD BIRDS. I didn't take the front bumper off, but with the mirror I could see that it was cleaned out very well. I don't know about what might be behind the radiators, but the front's were certainly nice and clean.
