I wonder first..how they got that dirty.....BUT also..if that's it? COULD BE!

Is this a common problem with the SVX....Clogged radiators resulting in overheating..and even wArPeD HEADS?

PLEASE enlighten me...THANKS!
James,
This isn't unusual. This is why it's a good idea to take a hose to the front end of the car every so often. The debris in the condenser (aka AC cooler), radiator and trans cooler is just a function of the number of miles and conditions you drive in. How many miles do you have on your engine again?
