What are the signs of a faulty radiator?

The signs of a faulty radiator can vary depending on the underlying cause. Common symptoms include an overheating engine, steam coming out from under the hood, strange noises coming from the radiator, a low coolant level and gurgling sounds when the car is running. If you notice any of these issues with your car’s radiator, it is important to have it checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Other signs of a faulty radiator may include leaking fluid around the cap, corrosion or rust on parts of the radiator and visible cracks in any area of the system.

How often should I have my radiator checked?

Ideally, radiator maintenance should be carried out at least once a year. This ensures that any problems with the radiator’s performance can be identified and addressed in a timely manner. It is also important to check radiators regularly for signs of damage, such as rust or corrosion, which may indicate that maintenance is needed sooner than expected.
