It has to be well cleaned like Robert posted. You also have to use the correct solder. The solder you use on copper pipe is not the right stuff. Most radiator solder is 20% tin and 80% lead. Plumbing solder is usually 50/50 mix. It is more brittle and will be more likely to crack. Also the higher lead content makes the melting point be lower so you do not have to have the radiator as hot to use it.
I also usually sue a liquid acid based flux when soldering radiators. I never have had much luck with acid core solder on anything.
