What does a car radiator do?
The radiator is a component in the engine that keeps the car's engine coolant cool. Without the radiator, a car would quickly run into trouble and serious problems could arise. The radiator is part of the cooling system ensuring the car does not overheat. There are actually a number of functions that it carries out to keep a car’s engine at a safe temperature.
How often should you replace your car radiator?
Your radiator is working any time the engine is running. This is because coolant constantly cycles through to prevent overheating, which means you need to be careful with the signs of a malfunctioning radiator as it is an essential part of your cooling system. This being said, a damaged or leaking car radiator should be replaced immediately.
