COMMON CAUSES OF RADIATOR FAILURE
Radiator Damage
Perforations can occur when a radiator is struck by a stone or other debris and compromises its ability to contain and circulate coolant effectively. As a result, the engine may overheat rapidly, leading to potential damage.
While temporary fixes like sealants or patching might provide a short-term solution, the most reliable course of action is to replace the radiator entirely.
We can install preventive measures, such as grille guards or protective covers that can minimize the risk of debris causing punctures in the radiator while driving.
Radiator Corrosion
Corrosion occurs when the radiator’s metal components, particularly the aluminium core, undergo a chemical reaction with the coolant and other elements present in the system.
Coolant additives help inhibit rust formation and corrosive agents. If they are too low or not present, protective properties are absent, increasing the likelihood of corrosion and damage to structural integrity.
Corroded radiators can lead to further complications and costly engine damage. The most effective solution is to replace the radiator, ensuring a corrosion-free cooling system is operational.
Movement & Vibration
Damaged or broken radiator mounts and brackets increase vibration which can cause fatigue and cracks in the metal or plastic parts. This worsens over time, resulting in the radiator becoming ineffective and increasing the risk of engine overheating.
Repairing underlying causes of vibration, such as imbalances or faulty mounts, can help correct issues and alleviate the strain on the radiator reducing further damage.
Our mechanics can inspect, repair, and replace radiator mounting components and diagnose the cause of your vehicle’s cooling system and radiator vibration problems.
Cooling system failure ranks as one of the top three causes of roadside breakdowns in Australia, with radiator failures being one of the main issues.
