Frequently Asked Questions
What are the first signs of radiator failure?
Early warning signs often include coolant leaks under the vehicle, rising engine temperatures, or a sweet smell from leaking antifreeze. Some drivers notice rust-coloured coolant or visible corrosion around the radiator itself. These issues mean the system isn’t properly cooling the engine, which can quickly escalate into overheating. Acting at the first sign usually saves money and avoids major repairs.
How often should coolant be flushed or replaced?
Coolant breaks down over time, losing its ability to regulate temperature and prevent corrosion. Most manufacturers recommend a flush every two to five years, depending on the type of coolant and driving conditions. Vehicles exposed to extreme heat, towing, or long-distance driving may need more frequent servicing. Following the correct schedule protects both the radiator and the engine from serious damage.
Can driving with a minor coolant leak damage my car?
Yes. Even a small coolant leak lowers fluid levels, which reduces the system’s ability to keep the engine cool. What starts as a drip can quickly lead to overheating, warped cylinder heads, or blown gaskets. A minor leak is usually an inexpensive repair if addressed early, but delaying it can result in very costly damage.
Cooling solutions
Protecting Engines Year-Round
Your radiator and cooling system do more than just prevent overheating — they regulate performance across every trip, whether you’re idling in summer traffic or tackling long country drives. During servicing, trained technicians check hoses, thermostats, water pumps, and coolant condition, replacing worn parts before they fail. Regular maintenance helps avoid sudden breakdowns, improves fuel efficiency, and extends the overall life of the engine. Even small leaks or drops in coolant levels can trigger bigger problems if left untreated.

By keeping your cooling system in top condition, you ensure smoother, safer, and more dependable driving in every season. It’s an investment that protects one of the most valuable parts of your vehicle: the engine itself.
