Great to be here ZClub forum,
These days we are blessed with the internet being able to find awesome forums like this!
Right guys, my mechanics my practical and terminology sides are awful please have a little patience with me. I can complete a few tasks when it comes to basic maintenance so I'm not utterly useless. I can complete simple tasks like changing A wheel, the tires, oil, coolant, window wipers etc etc, Most of the tasks everybody carries out on their motors.
Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a problem but it doesn't seem right.... I have some form of a brown rusty looking slightly flakey substance floating around where you refill your coolant This is what I meant by bad terminology! haha. I brought this dream 2003 350Z a couple of years ago and she drives like a dream daily making my day very pleasurable. Like most cars of its age, it's had the odd flat tire and a gasket somewhere down the line but nothing major. She gets services when the brochure recommends ( x amount of miles or warning alerts) and has then I do the small amounts of maintaining along the way.
Yesterday, as I was Cleaning oil change etc I had found that my coolant "Container" was like a misty brown. I have tried flushing the coolant out (found quite a lot of this rusty flakey substance) and tried different mixes and brands of coolant from the cheapest coolant to the most expensive I could find, no difference. I'm hoping you guys might have a little knowledge on this?
SPECS
Year: 2003
Model: 350Z
Mileage: 33,878
Engine: 3.5L
Drive: Rear wheel
Doors: 2
If there is anything else I could add on that would help you guys just mention below and I will get that added on asap!! Looking forward to some replies guys!
Cheers
