Information
What does the radiator do?
Typically mounted in the front of the vehicle, a radiator cools the engine. It transfers heat into the outside air through forced convection via a circulation system that uses a water and glycol based mixture.
What could happen to my radiator?
If the engine is running hot, there may be a problem with the radiator. As a preventative measure, some auto professionals recommend flushing out a vehicle’s radiator once a year to prevent clogging from dirt and debris. However, if something does happen to the cooling system, it is likely to be radiator hose leaks, split seams on the radiator, or holes in the radiator.
What are my options?
A quick lube, auto repair shop, or an owner can easily flush out a radiator. A skilled owner may be able to perform some radiator repairs, although it may be necessary to take the vehicle to an auto repair shop. There are numerous automotive websites that advertise their services and/or sell parts or service manuals.
