599 Radiators.... ugg

So I have to get a new Radiator in the 599... the current one is corroded from inside out, and looks like swiss cheese - very tiny pinhole leaks almost like electrolytic corrosion...

This is the original rad - so what is the deal are they just poorly made? 2008 car... 13-year-old car with less than 28K miles? the radiator goes? and don't even get me on replacement costs....

happily, the car did not overheat - it really never got warm at all, idled great, always runs cool.

when the rad shroud was lifted up - I was amazed at the huge amount of dry leaves, bugs, and rocks that were accumulated on top of the rad! shocking that it cooled as well as it did.

 

Mine is a new unit .... yes. painful. I don't know how many times its been flushed out. but the leaves and debris are the same on mine ... seems like bad air flow mgmt.
