Radiator Service Check List Equals Quality Radiator Repair!

Before the hot summer months are finally here

, its a good time to consider a radiator service. If your vehicle seems to be overheating and youre headed for an auto service center for a radiator repair, make note of the following things to inform your auto mechanic. This will save you time and money by being aware of these symptoms:

Before starting your vehicle:

* Check to determine when the engine overheating actually occurs, especially if there is no leak and level of fluid is correct. This will help your mechanic rule-out some issues and determine the possible cause of overheating.

* Check the coolant/antifreeze level. Be sure to remove the radiator cap (when the engine is cold) and look inside. If the fluid is at the proper level, you should be able to physically see it. If you have to add more than a pint or if you see any obvious loss on the ground or in the engine compartment, you will want to schedule a radiator service to have the cooling system pressure tested for a leak.

When the engine is idling or at low speeds:

* Check to see if the cooling fan for the radiator is working properly. Most cars have a motor fan which is responsible for engine cooling.

* Check to see if your car has an air conditioner condenser fan. The air conditioning compressor will require the cooling fan to operate at idle as long as the compressor is on.

While the engine is operating at driving speed:

* Check to see if there is enough coolant/anti-freeze circulating. Airflow and coolant circulation are crucial at 55 MPH. The water pump should be pumping a large amount of coolant/antifreeze throughout the cooling system.

* Check for a restriction in the system like a kinked radiator hose, or a stuck thermostat if overheating is occurring at normal driving speeds.

If you have checked all of the above suggestions, take your notes with your car to your local auto center for a radiator service so you are ready for those hot days of summer.
