How do I clean the milkshaky goodness out of the reservoir? I've rinsed it a dozen times with dish soap and water and there is still junk in there. Any suggestions, or is the box hosed?

There was a thread on here a while back about somebody cleaning one pretty effectively. Honestly, I would just get a new one. I am sure that isn't what you wanted to hear.

I just cleaned mine out. After removing it from the car, use hot water and Shout or Spray-n-Wash and let it work for awhile. It may be best to add the nonfoaming detergent to the tank while it is still in the car and run it for a few days, then flush the cooling system a couple times. That way, all the oil gets flushed from the system. I hear a new tank costs $120!!

Where do you get a new one and how many millions of dollars would it be?

I got mine from lindsey racing a few years ago. Paragon has them for $137. Ouch. Mine was $12 cheaper when I got it. But, I broke down and bought one and have been happy ever since, because I can actually see the coolant level. I am also kind big into just replacing stuff even if it doesn't need it, because if it started leaking or something at the track I would probably blow a gasket on my body, not the car

Well, if it needs to be replaced, Sunset might be the cheapest place to get it. I guess I can fork over a hundred bucks if this thing won't clean itself.

Shout is what highly-skilled Porsche wrenches use. That's the ticket...

I just tried using CLR which didnt help much.

Add some dish washer detergent and drive around then do a complete flush and refill, then drive some more then do another complete flush and refill. Done!

Dave, I must give "Shout" a try next time around.

It's still a pain task. Took 3 wash/rinse cycles in the 944, then still showed a couple of globs in the system for a year until next flush/fill. Is one of the hardest bloody things to clean out of a coolant system, no doubt.

I havent personally tried it, but a man who i was buying parts from once told me to use alkaselser plus to help with the yellowing... it might help with oil as well. Oh and this is OFF the car not on.

Well hot water and dish soap (lots of dish soap) failed miserably after many attempts. Buying a brand new tank since I'd rather not have that crud in my engine.
