When to have a car radiator repair or replacement

Car radiators are very important in preventing your car’s engine from overheating. If a car radiator is not functioning properly, a checkup from a car radiator service must be done immediately to further avoid damages on the other parts of the car. A car radiator repair may advise you to do a repair or a replacement depending upon the gravity of these common problems:

• Rust and corrosion occurs commonly and naturally overtime. Rusting in the radiator’s exterior does not warrant a replacement from your car service. Just a regular cleaning from a car radiator repair near you can suffice. But if the interior is rusting, then a replacement must be done. Interior rusting is caused by not replacing the coolant regularly. If the coolant in the radiator differs hugely in color from its initial appearance or it’s texture now becomes sludge-like, the car radiator is confirmed to be severely corroded.
• Leaks are also one of the most common problems of a car radiator. When radiators become clogged with small debris such as tiny rocks, the pressure build up can cause punctures in the tube. A car service near you can most probably seal the leaks if they’re only a few. However for cases where there are leaks everywhere (and big ones), a replacement must be done.
• Clogs just need a cleanup usually. For clogs in the radiator’s face, spraying water or blowing air in the backside normally suffices. For clogs on the radiator tubes, a radiator flushing service should be done by a car radiator service. Clogs in the tube may call for a radiator disassembly so it’s better to have an expert do it for you.
