Why radiator health matters
Your radiator keeps engine temperatures in a safe range. A faulty radiator can quickly lead to overheating, coolant loss and severe engine damage. Early inspection prevents breakdowns and reduces the risk of costly repairs.
Common signs your radiator needs attention
If you notice any of the following, bring your vehicle in for a full check:
Engine overheating while driving or idling
Coolant puddles under the vehicle or low coolant level
Thick, discoloured or sludgy coolant
Repeated temperature spikes or the temperature gauge fluctuating
Steam from the engine bay or a burning smell
