Is your car running hot or overheating? The most common cause for a car’s overheating issues are radiator related. Radiators go through temperature extremes over the course of their lives and can sometimes develop cracks in the structure of the radiator, causing the coolant to leak out of the system. Once the coolant has vacated the cooling system the engine temperature increases and puts the rest of your engine at serious risk of catastrophic failure.

Another common cause of radiator failure and car overheating is corrosion due to incorrect coolant or straight water being used in the system. If your car temperature is running high, your radiator is leaking water or coolant from the front end, or you have steam spewing out from under your bonnet, then it is highly likely that your radiator is the culprit. The Car Doctor team replace many radiators each year and have experience with most makes and models.
