Signs Your Radiator Needs Attention

Identifying signs of radiator problems can prevent engine overheating and costly repairs down the line. Look out for these common symptoms:

• Coolant Leaks: Puddles of coolant beneath your vehicle, visible leaks from the radiator, or wet spots on the radiator fins could indicate a leaking radiator or hose connection.
• Engine Overheating: If your engine consistently runs hot, overheats under load, or the temperature gauge reads higher than normal, it may be due to a malfunctioning radiator or cooling system.
• Low Coolant Levels: Regularly monitoring coolant levels and topping off the coolant reservoir only to find it frequently low could indicate a coolant leak within the radiator or associated components.
• Radiator Rust or Corrosion: Inspect the radiator for signs of rust, corrosion, or mineral deposits, which can impair heat dissipation and coolant flow, leading to overheating.
• Visible Damage: Look for physical damage to the radiator, such as bent fins, cracks, or punctures, which can compromise its ability to cool the engine effectively.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s essential to have your radiator inspected and serviced promptly.
