So there has been an on going battle between me and my cooling system. The add coolant buzzer started going off a couple weeks ago and the car needed a flush anyway, so I put on new hoses, rad cap, thermostat, and flushed the car. A couple days later the buzzer goes off again. The cooling system seems to be building pressure(the hoses look like they want to pop and are very very stiff). It could be a leak, however the car has no puddles under it. Im pretty sure its from a clogged radiator, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought before I went out and bought one.

I hate radiators! I have no advice, because I had to get advice myself on mine.

well the rad. shop said my rad. was hopeless. I decided not to be cheap and bought a brand new one...and I got a 10% discount for being a student, yes! As for the old radiator I had bigger plans for that. This saturday night I took it out to the train tracks and layed it on the track. The train demolished that piece. Needless to say it had no more clog.
