Signs You Might Need Radiator Repair
Your radiator quietly does its job every time you drive. But when it starts to fail, it usually lets you know. Here are some common symptoms of radiator issues:
-
Engine temperature gauge running hotter than normal
-
Visible coolant leaks (usually green, orange, or pink fluid)
-
Steam coming from under the hood
-
Sweet smell inside or outside the vehicle
-
Low coolant level warning light
-
Heater not blowing warm air during colder months
-
Rust or corrosion on the radiator itself
If you’re experiencing any of these problems, don’t wait. Catching radiator issues early can help prevent expensive damage to your engine.
What Causes Radiator Problems?
Radiators wear out over time, especially in areas like Minnesota where cold weather and road salt can lead to corrosion. Some of the most common causes of radiator trouble include:
-
Cracked or leaking radiator hoses
-
Failed radiator cap or pressure release valve
-
Internal clogging from old coolant
-
Rust or corrosion in the core
-
Faulty thermostat or water pump
-
External damage from debris or accidents
Our team at Village Autoworks performs full inspections to determine exactly what’s going on with your radiator. We don’t guess—we test.
Frequently Asked Questions – Radiator Repair
Can I drive with a leaking radiator?
It’s risky. A leaking radiator can quickly lead to overheating. If your coolant is low or your temperature gauge spikes, it’s safest to stop driving and call us for help.
How much does radiator repair cost?
It depends on what needs fixing—whether it’s a hose, the radiator core, or a full replacement. We provide transparent quotes and never push repairs you don’t need.
How often should I flush my coolant?
Most vehicles need a coolant flush every 30,000–50,000 miles. If your coolant is dirty or hasn’t been changed in years, it’s a good idea to get it checked.
