How To Determine You Need A Radiator

 

  1. An overheating radiator is usually the first symptom of a problem. Be prepared to pull the car over before the needle reaches red on your temperature gauge, if you notice your engine is too hot. If you do not cool down your engine quickly enough, driving with an overheating engine can cause significant damage to your engine. 
  2. In addition, if you see something dripping under the front of your vehicle, your radiator might need attention. The presence of any type of fluid leak in your vehicle is a problem that should not be ignored. A leak in your radiator or another system in your car that requires fluid could be responsible. Any leak should be dealt with as soon as possible, whatever the cause. As you can see, those hydraulic fluids have an important job to perform that is not getting done if they have been depleted. 
  3. Last but not least, discoloured radiator fluid can indicate a malfunctioning radiator. The fluid could be clogged with rust if rust has mixed with the fluid. Whenever you notice discoloured radiator fluid, we recommend visiting a service centre to get the radiator flushed and perform a full diagnostic.
