Default Behind the Radiator!

Was changing wheels, thought I'd check the backside of the radiator opening.
The left side in particular, since there is no fan motor is a real catch-all.
See what I found...

If you have never stuck your hand in there...you may be surprised ..

Land Jet that link would be of NO help since the debris is from the BACK (wheel Side) of the radiator

I can confirm, last time I had the car raised and the wheels off, I had a flip because in both wells behind the radiator I found about one kilo of small stones in there.

It should have standard grills there. Does the MKII have them?
Try to get as much out as I can when I out the track wheels on, usually a couple of fist fulls.
