[QUOTE="HB, post: 909218, member: 17429"] If the water is brown that usually means that there is rust present. Not a good thing. Rust = decay. Drain the radiator, flush and make sure water flows out of the motor as well as the radiator flushing both. "Anti-freeze" is essential to preventing rust and oxidation of aluminum. Especially where pipes connect to the motor. On more modern vehicles they use plastic flanges etc. Brown residue could also be caused by a blown/leaky head gasket. But you probably would have noticed it overheating if that was the case. [/QUOTE]
