Is that normal?

It's just a bit of oxidation formed from water droplets left in the radiator after leak testing in the factory. Should cause no problems after a flush and is just cosmetic. If it bothers you then the mayhems blitz cleaning kit would more than likely clean it up.

hey sorry to bother you but I don't have distilled water to clean it can I use like filtered and/or boiled water instead?

No. Well you can but it's a really bad idea from the perspective of promoting corrosion and creating mineral build up.

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I could only recommend distilled water as tap water will still have minerals which could lead to corrosion or limescale. Although a flush with boiling tap water followed with a flush with distilled water may help remove any build up in the radiator with minimal risk of problems.

what you can do is do a setup to collect the steam when you boil the water... the collected water is then destilled.
