The Car’s Cooling System
Keeping your car cool is one of the things you have to look out for. This is because you don’t want your car to suddenly heat up while you’re on the road.
If this happens, your car might stop on its own and you would have to call in a towing service to bring it to the repair shop. To avoid this, make sure that the parts of your vehicle’s cooling system are properly working. Otherwise, you might want to have them repaired or replaced.
Signs That You Need A Radiator Replacement
One such component is the vehicle’s radiator. The vehicle’s radiator is primarily tasked to prevent the overheating of your vehicle. Your car constantly produces heat as it runs. Upon sensing that your engine has become hotter, the radiator releases coolant which absorbs and removes the extra heat from the engine. The coolant then returns to the radiator to cool. After this, the coolant is ready to be sent back again to the engine to absorb extra heat, and the process cycles back again.
Overheating
This is usually the most common sign that your car needs a radiator replacement. If your car keeps overheating even under normal driving conditions, then it means your radiator, which is tasked to prevent this, is failing and might need a replacement. Should you experience this, we strongly suggest that you visit us for a radiator replacement in Spring, Texas right away to avoid the possibility of your car stalling while on the road.
Coolant Is Leaking
If you see color yellow, green, or red liquid under your car when it is parked, then that is probably coolant leaking from your vehicle. This is an indication that something is wrong. While the leak may be from a hose or a problem in the engine block, there is also a good possibility that the problem is with the radiator. The only way to find out is to have it checked.
Low Coolant Light Is On
If you constantly keep adding coolant to your car but the low coolant light indicator keeps on turning on, this can be a sign that there is a leak. As stated above, a coolant leak might indicate radiator problems.
Coolant Discoloration
The normal color of your coolant is either yellow, green, or red. If your coolant turns into a rusty or oil color, then there might be a problem with your radiator. Since you coolant circles around from the radiator to the engine and back, this could be a sign that contaminant were building up in your radiator.
