What Radiators Do

A radiator's main function is a simple one. It keeps your engine running at an ideal temperature, preventing the engine's parts from overheating and getting damaged. How it does that is straightforward. The radiator stores a mixture of coolant and water inside. That mix flows through inlet hoses to the engine, where it circulates to collect the building heat. the mixture then returns to the radiator through outlet hoses. The radiator features a large, flat, finned surface that allows the heat to disperse harmlessly into the atmosphere.

How to Spot a Faulty Radiator in a Kia

Unfortunately, even the highest quality radiators and parts can eventually suffer too much wear-and-tear from daily use, leading them to fail. Signs of trouble include pools of red, yellow, or green liquid underneath your vehicle, weird noises coming from your engine, a sweet, syrupy odor in the air, a malfunctioning AC system, or a dash warning light coming on. Notice any, and you should inspect the radiator and likely replace it ASAP.
