HELP BARS LEAK-radiator clogged

Hello I recently started leaking Coolant in 335i. I thought it was the radiator and put an entire bottle of bars coolant in, this In turn clogged up my coolant system and radiator. My heater no longer works and I would like to find a way to clear all the materials causing the blockage. It turns out my water pump cracked and I have already purchased replacement parts but don't know what to do first to get my car running great again. I'd rather clear this radiator out the. Replace it please help thanks.

Not 100% sure on this, but you want to remove the Bars.
Would flush it as much as and as many times as I could.
Do tap water flushes..... Like 5-8 of them.
Just a thought.

If you get desperate, this may be worth a shot. I never tried it but the Irontite FAQ does seem to indicate that it will remove stop leak products:

Replacing the radiator isn't going to fix your heater issue if the heater core is clogged too.

Just another reason why you should NEVER use stop leak products.
