What does a radiator do in a vehicle?
A radiator is a key component of your vehicle’s cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature by circulating coolant through the engine block, where it absorbs heat. The heated coolant then flows into the radiator, which dissipates the heat through thin metal fins and airflow. This process prevents the engine from overheating, especially during long drives, towing, or stop-start traffic. Without a working radiator, engine damage can occur quickly, leading to expensive repairs.
How can I tell if my radiator is failing?
Signs of radiator trouble include visible coolant leaks, rising temperature gauges, low coolant levels, discoloured coolant, or steam coming from under the bonnet. You might also notice the heater not working properly or sludge in the radiator. If your engine starts to overheat regularly, it’s best to have your radiator checked by a professional. Catching issues early can help prevent damage to the engine and cooling system components.
Is it safe to drive with a leaking radiator?
It’s risky to drive with a leaking radiator, even if the leak seems minor. A loss of coolant can quickly lead to overheating, which may cause severe engine damage, warped cylinder heads, or a blown head gasket. If you suspect a leak, stop the vehicle, let the engine cool, and check for fluid beneath the car. It's best to top up coolant if safe and get the radiator inspected or repaired as soon as possible.
