Your vehicle can be caused to overheat if in the event your vehicle’s radiator fails, and not enough coolant will reach your engine.

Many motorists do not know if their vehicle’s radiator is failing, however. During normal driving conditions or that your car is visibly leaking coolant fluid, you may notice that your engine is overheating. Fortunately, by the automotive technicians of Top Notch Mobile Tire Service, most radiator repairs are very common and can be easily handled. Below are a few of the most common radiator issues.
Common Causes of Radiator Failure & Problems
1) Radiator Leaks. A leak is where most vehicle radiator problems begin. All subject to wear and tear over time, leaks can occur in the radiator, radiator hoses, or in the hose connectors and clamps. Rust or mineral deposit buildup causes corrosion, that leads to leaks. Since it can be harder to detect in your radiator, it is easy to notice rust on the exterior of your vehicle. Keep an eye out for leaking coolant that has a brown tint. With our preventative maintenance services for car radiator and cooling systems, you can avoid leaks being a problem, thankfully. Do not forget about getting your radiator hoses replaced as well and make sure you have your radiator inspected and flushed regularly.
2) Faulty Thermostat. Being regulated by a thermostat using a sensor, the flow of coolant to and from your vehicle’s radiator. The substance inside of its “melts” to open a valve, allowing the coolant to flow when the thermostat detects a certain temperature. A broken thermostat will either get stuck open or closed. The right amount of coolant is not flowing to the radiator in either case. The professionals of Top Notch Mobile Tire can detect a faulty thermostat, they will carefully remove and replace it.
3) Water Pump is Broken. An essential component of your car’s cooling system is the water pump. A worn-out seal or bearing that leaks coolant or will not allow the pump to rotate are just a few examples of the reasons the water pump can fail. It can also be corroded by rust, like other vehicle components. The Top Notch Mobile Tire experts will run tests on your water pump to determine if it is functioning properly and replace it if needed when diagnosing your radiator repair.
