One example of a Bosch invention is the lambda sensor which they invented 30 years ago.It is now used in both petrol and diesel engines, helping to make the car run more efficiently and reduces harmful emissions, helping to protect the environment. Another Bosch invention is ESP (Electronic Stability Program). Since its invention in 1995, over 20 million have been produced. It is now in 40% of new European cars, helping to prevent skidding.

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.
