The radiator of your car keeps the optimal temperature for the efficient running of the engine. So, proper maintenance should be done to avoid a clogged radiator, bad thermostat, radiator leaks and rust which hampers the radiator. See these slides to learn the common problems affecting the radiator of your car.

1. Common Problems Affecting
the Radiator of Your Car

2. The radiator of your car is
vital for the efficient
working of the engine
and drivers often report
encountering problems
with the radiator system
of their car.

3. However, you shouldn't get
complacent due to the
nature of the problem and
besides, if the issue is not
sorted out immediately,
then it will affect the
engine.

4. There are several
issues associated
with the radiator
system of your car.
Let us have a look at
them.

5. Clogged
radiator

6. A clogged radiator is one
the most common issue
that drivers have to deal
with and the radiator may
get blocked due to the
accumulation of dirt, dead
insects and loose debris
such as stones.

7. You need to inspect the
radiator for any signs of
blockage because as this
happens, then the flow of
air through the radiator
gets clogged leading to
engine overheating.

8. Whenever you open the
radiator cap check it and
the fluid for any brown
color, or suspended
particulate in the coolant
like debris and if you
detect anything, then your
radiator is clogged.

9. Thermostat
malfunctioning

10. The thermostat allows the
coolant to circulate inside
the radiator and a
malfunctioning thermostat
will always lead to engine
overheating.

11. If the thermostat is stuck
in the closed position or is
blocked due to the
presence of debris,
consequently the flow of
the coolant gets
obstructed.

12. The thermostat doesn't
belong to the radiator
system but it functions like
a valve, which determines
the amount of coolant that
should flow into and out of
the radiator.

13. Radiator leaks

14. The hosepipes are
vulnerable to wear and
tear that is why they
should be replaced from
time-to-time as faulty &
ruptured hosepipes are
responsible for causing
leaks in the radiator.

15. The hose pipes are pretty
important because they
link the radiator to the
engine, which allows for
the smooth flow of the
coolant in between them.

16. The hoses are made up of
rubber and due to the
extreme heat created
they are prone to failure
and you can easily detect
any issues in the hose
pipes by looking under
the car.

17. Formation of
rust

18. As the coolant loses its
ability to prevent rust
when it gets old this
allows the rust to form
and consequently
damage the internal
components of the car.

19. You can easily detect the
formation of rust by
checking the color of the
coolant and if the
appearance of the
coolant is brown, then
the radiator has rusted
from the inside.

20. Furthermore, you must
immediately replace the
radiator because if the
issue gets prolonged,
then it has the potential
to critically damage the
other parts of the car.

21. Conclusion

22. From our above discussion,
it can be concluded that
the radiator plays a very
crucial role in the
dissipation of heat from
the engine.

23. Whenever you
experience any issues
with the radiator of your
car, then take the car to
an automotive shop to
fix the issue.
