Cooling Systems

A radiator is an integral part of the vehicle important for the engine to run smoothly. While you can’t see the effect from the cooling system directly, once it goes bad, it may have a negative impact on the entire car. The main function of this device is to remove excess heat from the engine. If this process is broken, it can lead to various serious issues including transmission failure. What are the most common signs of a damaged radiator?

The system has a leak

If this happens, the cooling system will lose coolant, which may be caused by a simple crack. If you find green liquid under your vehicle, this is the first sign of a leak in the radiator. You need to go to the service station for the inspection of the whole mechanism. You can also make a prelim inspection on your own. If the steam comes out of the device, the leak is detected.

Rust

Another reason that can damage a radiator is rust. When it is mixed with coolant, it produces a thick liquid that will not cool the engine. If the radiator has too much rust, it is better to replace it. If you don’t do it in a timely manner, this may lead to corrosion.

Engine overheating

This is one of the main signs of the radiator’s failure. If the temperature of the engine gets too high, the first thing you should think about is the radiator damage. It is not recommended to continue the trip in this case as if engine overheating will continue, it may result in serious damage.

Thermostat failure

This device is not an integral part of the radiator but if it fails, the radiator may not function properly. The damage of this device is one of the most common reasons for engine overheating. It is not recommended to start any trip with a damaged thermostat.

Air in the cooling system

If air appears in the cooling system, it will prevent the coolant from flowing properly. This will lead, in turn, to the engine overheating as the whole cooling system fails. This is not the case to replace the radiator as this problem can be solved by a mechanic. However, if it happens frequently, it is better to buy a new radiator.

Problems with water pump

This device is an important part of the whole cooling system as it pumps coolant throughout the engine. If it fails, the coolant circuit breaks. The engine will be overheated in most cases. This is one of the most frequent problems with radiators. It is recommended to replace this detail to avoid more expensive car repairs in the future.

There is an obstruction in the cooling system

When something prevents the normal flow of the coolant, the system may fail and lead the engine to overheat. The obstruction may appear in the radiator or the coolant circuit. Sometimes it is enough to clean the radiator. However, in some cases, the radiator may have physical damage which prevents the airflow from coming inside to cool the system. If this happens, you will have to buy a new radiator.
