Went on an awesome MINI run this weekend which included some not so savory roads with lots of gravel and sand left over from recent slippery conditions. I've got a bit of it on the IC, how should I remove it?

I thought: Brush, vacuum, pick 'em all out.

What happens to the little bitty pieces of sand that inexorably get caught IN our ICs?

Thanks for your creative ideas.

I do vacuum mine with the shop vac.

I did get dome mystyr c**p in there once and it bugged (hay maybe bugs ... ...) me so much I took it off ad used compressed air to blow it back out.

I won't do anything that will bend the veins.

good luck

 

Hey mb,
The run was good except for the weather and of course the sand and gravel. I have a piece of window screen sandwiched between the IC and the plastic cover. Works great for keeping stuff out of the IC.
This pic must have been before I put it on, but you can see the one in front that covers the radiator, condenser, and air intake.
