Cadillac Radiator Repair And Replacement Service Near Kansas City

A radiator is one of the most important components of your Cadillac’s cooling system. Your engine generates a great deal of heat while it is running. It depends on fluid (known as coolant) in order to keep the engine from overheating. When the coolant is pumped through the engine, it absorbs heat and cools the engine. The hot coolant is then pumped out of the engine and into the radiator. 

The radiator has passages that are cooled by the outside air flowing over it. As the coolant passes through the passages it is cooled and then pumped back through the engine to start the process over again. 

Why Should You Have Your Radiator Repaired Or Replaced?

The cooling passages inside the radiator can become constricted over time with deposits or rust. If this happens, the cooling system can malfunction because the radiator cannot properly cool the coolant which can lead to engine overheating problems. Moreover, the outside of a radiator is also susceptible to reduced performance from its fins from either being clogged with bugs and debris or damaged from an impact such as hitting a bird or rocks while driving.

How To Tell If Your Radiator May Need Repair Or Replacement

• Your vehicle appears to be running unusually hot
• The air blowing out of your vehicle’s HVAC system is inconsistent with the temperature it is set to
• Your coolant level is low
• You notice fluid leaking from the radiator
• There are bends or cracks in the radiator’s cooling fins
• You notice steam coming from under your hood
• You detect a sweet smell coming from your engine area

Keep in mind your radiator is part of a complex system so it can be hard to pinpoint if a radiator is failing or if the symptom is caused by another component such as a leaking hose, bad coolant pump, or faulty heater core.
