Re: browny sludgy stuff in coolant
With a 12 year old car, unless the timing belt was changed as it should have been 2 years ago, complete with a brand new water pump, cooling system flush and fresh coolant then the coolant is 12 years old.
If the timing belt has not been renewed I'd do the whole job properly now as above, with new tensioner and pulleys too.
