When Does a Radiator Need Replacing?
How do you know if your radiator needs replacing?Watch for these signs:
- Persistent engine overheating
- Visible coolant leaks under the vehicle
- Discolored or oily coolant
Any Vancouver-area driver noticing these symptoms should have the cooling system checked soon.
Your radiator keeps the engine's cooling system working. When it fails, replacement rather than patching is usually the reliable fix, because a weakened radiator tends to leak or clog again and leave you stranded with an overheated engine.
