A radiator cools the engine by moving heat from the coolant to the air.

A faulty radiator can cause engine overheating, potentially leading to engine damage.

Not a good idea. It can cause your engine to overheat and lead to major damage.

With good care, a radiator can last 8-10 years or more.

Look for puddles under the car, low coolant levels, and a sweet smell from the engine.

It depends on the warranty terms. Check your vehicle’s warranty details.

It’s risky. Driving with a coolant leak can cause overheating and engine damage, so it’s best to get it fixed quickly.
