Why is my radiator cap important?
The radiator cap does more than just seal the top of your radiator. It’s a pressure-release valve that maintains the correct pressure within the cooling system. If the cap is faulty or damaged, it may allow coolant to escape or prevent proper circulation, leading to overheating or leaks. A faulty cap is often overlooked, but replacing it is a quick and inexpensive fix that can prevent more serious issues down the track.
Can a clogged radiator be repaired, or does it need replacing?
It depends on the severity of the blockage. Light internal buildup can often be cleared with a professional radiator flush. However, if corrosion, rust, or debris have severely restricted coolant flow, a full replacement may be the safest and most cost-effective solution. Trying to clean a badly clogged radiator could cause damage or only offer a temporary fix. An expert can assess the condition and recommend the best course of action.
What is a radiator re-core?
A radiator re-core involves replacing the internal core (tubes and fins) of the radiator while keeping the original tanks and framework. It’s a popular option for vintage, specialty, or hard-to-replace radiators. Re-coring can restore performance without the need to source an entirely new unit. This service is typically done by specialist workshops and may be more affordable or practical than replacing the entire radiator—especially in classic or rare vehicles.
