I’m sure you know that your vehicle’s engine gets HOT HOT. In order to prevent your engine from overheating, your radiator sends coolant through it that helps keep the engine at a constant temperature. Have a look at these radiator warning signs so that you know when your radiator needs to be repaired or replaced.
Signs that your radiator is in trouble:
1️⃣ Overheating:
If your engine is overheating you must stop immediately and let it cool down. If you keep driving while you vehicle is overheating you can break the engine completely, and you’ll need an entirely new engine.
2️⃣ Bright Coloured Fluid Leaking:
If you notice any bright coloured fluid leaking from your car, this will probably be coolant leaking as coolant is usually brightly coloured (green, yellow, or pink). This means that your car may not have enough coolant to keep the engine’s temperature in check, and thus you should definitely see a professional to have it checked out and repaired.
3️⃣ Rust On Your Radiator:
Because your radiator is made from metal it will begin to rust if it comes into contact with moisture.
4️⃣ Coolant Levels Are Low:
Regularly keep an eye on your coolant levels. If you notice low coolant levels, definitely bring your vehicle in so that we can check it out.
