Frequently Asked Questions
A car radiator is a key part of a vehicle’s cooling system that helps regulate the engine’s temperature. As coolant fluid circulates through the engine, it absorbs heat. That hot coolant then flows into the radiator, where it is spread out over a large surface area to allow air to pass across it, cooling the liquid and, therefore, the engine. When driving, the natural airflow cools the narrow tubes and fins of the radiator. When stationary, a fan activates to keep that air blowing. Ultimately, a car radiator prevents the engine from overheating.
Repairing a car radiator usually involves identifying leaks, flushing out old coolant, and replacing or sealing damaged parts such as hoses, clamps, or the radiator core itself. Since radiators are critical for engine cooling, it’s best to have a professional mechanic carry out repairs to ensure long-term reliability. Book with the team at Cox Auto today for expert radiator inspections and repairs.
There are several indicators that your radiator is failing. The primary symptom is an overheated engine, indicated by a warning light on your dashboard or a dreaded head of steam emanating from the engine compartment. Lack of coolant, discoloured or rusty coolant, faulty air conditioning, or signs of leaking coolant are early red flags.
Radiator hose leaks are an obvious sign, but keep an eye out for subtle ones, too. If the heating system in the car interior isn’t working (it relies on the hot coolant circulating around the engine to warm the air it pumps through the vents), it’s time to bring your car into Cox Auto for a service.
Driving a car with a cracked radiator is extremely dangerous. The further you drive under such conditions, the greater the risk of catastrophic overheating and a costly repair bill. If you’ve identified a crack, contact the team at Cox Auto for immediate advice and repair.
Further, Transport Victoria emphasises the importance of having a working radiator, especially during winter. It is important to have engine coolant in your radiator before setting off on a winter road trip, and ensuring your vehicle is prepared for all weather conditions. The team at Cox Auto can help make this happen.
We recommend a cooling system inspection at least once a year or according to your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Regular car radiator maintenance extends its life and prevents sudden failures. Check to see what’s included in your car service to ensure your radiator is getting the maintenance it needs.
