Service Overview
The radiator sheds the heat your engine makes. Plastic end-tanks crack with age, cores clog internally, and either way cooling capacity falls right when summer demands it.
The job involves the radiator, hose and clamp inspection, fresh coolant fill, transmission-cooler line transfer where integrated, fan verification, and a full bleed.
Signs You Need This Service
- Coolant leak at the radiator seams or tanks
- Overheating in traffic or with A/C on
- Crusty white/green deposits on the core
- Sludge or oil in the coolant (cooler failure)
Consequences of Ignoring It
- Progressive overheating risking the head gasket
- Trans damage if an integrated cooler fails (fluid cross-contamination)
- Complete failure leaving you roadside
Recommended Service Interval
Radiators typically last 8–15 years; plastic-tank failure is age-driven.
