FAQ
How often should a radiator be flushed?
Most vehicles benefit from a radiator flush every 1–2 years, but this can vary based on driving habits, climate, and vehicle type. A flush helps remove old coolant, rust, and debris that can block passages or corrode the system. Refer to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule, and if you see signs of dirty coolant or overheating, a flush may be due sooner.
What are the signs of radiator failure?
Common signs of radiator trouble include overheating, steam or smoke from under the bonnet, low coolant levels, visible leaks or corrosion, and a sweet smell while driving. You might also notice fluctuating engine temperatures or poor heating inside the cabin. These symptoms usually mean the radiator isn’t cooling the engine properly and should be inspected to prevent serious damage.
Can a damaged radiator cause engine failure?
Yes, a failing radiator can lead to serious engine damage if left untreated. When the radiator can’t cool the engine efficiently, it causes overheating, which can warp cylinder heads, damage gaskets, seize pistons, or even crack engine blocks. Prompt radiator repairs or full replacements are essential to avoid costly rebuilds, breakdowns, and extended vehicle downtime.
