FAQs About Car Cooling System and Radiator Service

What Are The Signs My Radiator Needs Servicing?

Look for any signs of overheating, like a high-temperature gauge, leaks under your vehicle, or unexplained coolant loss. If your engine is constantly overheating, bringing your vehicle for a check-up is critical.

Other symptoms of potential radiator issues include unusual engine smells, especially a sweet scent that could indicate a coolant leak. Steam emanating from under the hood is another tell-tale sign. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek professional assistance promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the safe operation of your vehicle.

How Often Should I Get A Coolant Flush?

Most vehicles need a coolant flush every 24,000 to 36,000 miles, but with West Spring’s heat, it is advisable to have it checked annually. Regular flushes help prevent corrosion and keep the system functioning correctly.

In addition to mileage, consider the age of your vehicle and its usage patterns. Vehicles driven mostly in short, stop-and-go conditions may require more frequent maintenance due to increased engine strain. Our technicians can provide personalized recommendations based on your driving habits and vehicle condition to ensure your cooling system remains effective all year round.

Can Cold Weather Affect My Radiator?

Even though West Spring is known for its heat, occasional cold snaps can affect your radiator. Coolant levels and mixture varieties should be checked before winter, even in mild climates.

Cold temperatures can cause the coolant to thicken and reduce its circulatory efficiency. This can lead to engine overheating if not properly managed. Additionally, the freeze-thaw cycle can also exacerbate pre-existing conditions such as small leaks or weak hose connections, necessitating proactive inspection and maintenance to avoid complications when temperatures drop.

How Do I Know if My Radiator is Working Properly?

A well-functioning radiator should keep your engine’s temperature stable. If you notice fluctuations on your dashboard gauge or the heating system inside your car isn’t working properly, get your radiator inspected.

Other indicators of a properly functioning radiator include quiet operation with no knocking or ticking sounds during engine operation. Regular, clear coolant levels that do not fluctuate between services are also positive signs. If you're unsure, our technicians are available to perform systematic checks to ascertain your radiator’s health.
