A radiator is an indispensable part of your car's cooling system. It keeps the temperature of your engine at a safe level by moving the heat absorbed from the coolant into the air, which prevents your vehicle’s engine from overheating. A well-operating radiator is important in protecting your car, whether during hot summer drives or cold winter conditions.
Issues with the radiator usually include leaks, corrosion, or a blockage. A radiator replacement becomes essential when the current unit cannot sufficiently cool the engine and cannot be repaired. Brown’s Automotive Experts radiator replacement is meant to bring your cooling system back to its optimal performance. A part of our service is the thorough assessment of your radiator to see if repairs can still be done.
Some Signs of Radiator Problems:
Coolant Leaks - Coolant puddles under your car clearly indicate a radiator problem. Coolant may leak from the radiator or from connecting hoses.
Fluctuating Temperature Gauge - Should your dashboard's temperature gauge vary more than usual or show sudden spikes, it indicates that the cooling system is not adequately controlling engine temperature. Such variations are a serious alert to get your radiator examined.
Visible Corrosion or Damage to the Radiator - Physical inspections can expose damage to the radiator fins and body including corrosion and cracks. Any obvious damage can compromise the radiator's normal performance and usually calls for immediate repairs.
Engine Overheating - if your car overheats, it clearly indicates that the radiator isn't efficiently cooling your engine anymore. Tow your car to a professional auto repair shop – engine overheating can cause expensive damage.
