Common Signs Your Radiator Needs Attention
Is your vehicle overheating frequently, or have you noticed leaks under your car? These are common indicators of radiator issues. Ignoring these signs can lead to significant damage over time.
Watch Out For:
- Overheating: Rising engine temperatures, especially during idling, can signal radiator problems.
- Discolored Coolant: Rusty or sludgy coolant indicates contamination or corrosion.
- Visible Leaks: Green, orange, or pink puddles under the vehicle suggest a coolant leak.
Additionally, a faulty radiator can cause noticeable changes in vehicle performance, such as reduced fuel efficiency or sluggish acceleration. When your engine is not cooled properly, it may cause stress on other components, leading to more frequent repair needs. Addressing radiator issues promptly helps maintain your vehicle's overall health, preventing future more complex and costly repairs.

Your vehicle's radiator is the heart of the cooling system. Regular maintenance is essential for preventing leaks, corrosion, and overheating that could lead to costly repairs. In New Albany, fluctuating temperatures can stress a radiator, making timely care even more critical for radiator repair.
