Can a damaged radiator affect fuel efficiency?
Yes, it can. An inefficient radiator can lead to higher engine temperatures, which may force the engine control system to adjust fuel-air mixtures to compensate. This can reduce performance and fuel economy. Additionally, an overheating engine may trigger limp mode or reduce power to prevent damage, which affects overall efficiency. Keeping your radiator in good condition helps your engine run smoothly and economically over the long term.
What’s the difference between aluminium and copper-brass radiators?
Aluminium radiators are lightweight, have good thermal conductivity, and are commonly used in modern vehicles for efficiency. Copper-brass radiators, often found in older cars, offer excellent heat dissipation and are easier to repair or re-core. However, they’re heavier and less corrosion-resistant. Choosing between them depends on your vehicle, usage, and whether you value weight savings or repairability. Many classic car owners still prefer copper-brass for restorations due to their longevity.
Should I top up coolant when the engine is hot or cold?
Always top up coolant when the engine is cold. Opening the radiator cap on a hot engine can release pressurised steam or boiling coolant, leading to serious burns. Wait until the engine has cooled down completely before checking coolant levels. If your vehicle has an overflow tank, you can usually check the level without opening the radiator at all. Always use the correct coolant type and avoid overfilling the system.
