A mechanic will check your car for faults and talk you through any repairs you might need. There are various ways to check for faults, which could include a physical examination or plugging in to check your car’s onboard engine management system.

We’ll look for any mechanical or electrical problems. If we need to, we’ll also check your car’s onboard engine management system. Depending on your car and issue, this will usually include: – Engine – Power steering – Brakes – Transmission – Exhaust system – Fuel injection system – Cooling system and air flow – Sensors

Frequently asked questions about a car radiator repair

Yes, small leaks can often be fixed, but big leaks usually need a new radiator.

Most of the time, yes. But if the damage is severe, a replacement might be necessary.

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.
