Radiators can be regarded as one of the most important components that determine vehicle performance and durability. Radiator leakage will make the kitchen run your car too hot and not durable.
The engine work gives rise to heat that does not play high. Therefore, a cooling system and radiator are required as the main components of the system.
No wonder, radiator leaks are one of the vehicle owner's nightmares. Nevertheless, not everyone understands how to know whether their car's radiator is leaking or not.
The first radiator leak sign is if the temperature indicator in your car is in the red color level. Therefore, a radiator that is in good condition will not make the indicator is in that level in the normal journey in a journey away not to the level that is too high
If that happens, immediately drain and stop your car, open the hood, then check the coolant overflow tank and radiator tank. If the coolant in both tanks stayed a little or even run out, then almost certainly there is a leak.
warning.
be careful when opening the radiator cap
Keep in mind, opening the lid of the radiator tank should be done when the engine is cool. Otherwise, the hot coolant inside will gush out about you causing you minor injuries as well as serious injuries.
Furthermore, check from many angles whether there is any seepage or droplets of coolant around the radiator tank. This is because leaks can occur in other components.
Coolant itself has sticky features and is green, yellow, or red heart or plain water. most radiators in cars now do not use regular water anymore.
If you can not find the drip or seepage of the coolant, look for rust around the radiator tank. Because the corrosion can cause leaks in the radiator tank so rust can indicate the location of the leak. no matter how small the rust on the radiator can make the radiator leak.
If the radiator looks fine, then leaks may occur elsewhere such as radiator caps, water pumps, engine blocks, thermostats, overflow coolant tanks, or heat exchangers. Gasket leakage in the cylinder head or engine block becomes another possibility.
As for other possibilities in radiator sensors that have long been malfunctioning can also give the sensor the wrong command in the indicator. on cooling the radiator there is a fan that works to help cooling while overhead engine conditions, the fan will help the cooling performance (radiator) by blowing fresh air to the side of the grating slitting in the radiator.
if the fan does not work it will experience the incident as above.
Lastly, do not turn on the car engine just wait cold for about an hour, then drive the car to the garage as soon as possible to minimize overheat engine and of course immediately fix this leak by doing radiator service or by going to the official workshop.
