Radiator Repair Service
The Orlando weather can get quite warm on occasions. This puts more pressure on a car engine to remain cool. The radiator works overtime, and if the cooling part of the engine has a problem, the car engine can quickly overheat.
If the radiator is unable to perform its duty correctly many problems can occur and boiling-over can be one of the smallest issues. Engine oil can overheat and lose its effectiveness, and over time engine wear can happen.
All of the cooling systems are monitored and controlled by thermostats that operate pumps and valves which all work together to keep the flow of coolant flowing around the engine. A skilled mobile mechanic will explain what can happen if this system breaks down, and a radiator repair might be the least of your problems.

Finding the Leak
Leaking Radiators in Orlando
On most occasions when a radiator springs a leak, it will be from one of three places. There are the fins that perform the cooling, and these can sometimes get punctured by a stick or a stone. The filler cap can leak if it becomes worn, and at the bottom where the bottom hose connects can corrode on older metal radiators.
A skilled mechanic in Orlando would check these three things because they are in close vicinity of each other. The problem is when the leak is in another area, and it requires some further investigation. Here is a rundown of where other cooling system leaks can occur.
Water Pumps
Worn water pumps or external leaks.
Engine Block and Head Gasket
Engine block leaks, or head gasket leaks.
Hoses
Split or worn hoses.
Thermostats
Thermostats sticking open, or not opening.
Temperature Sensors
Faulty temperature sensors.
Belts
Serpentine belt or fan belts being worn or loose.
Radiator Fans
Radiator fans broken or the motor damaged.
All of these can prevent engine coolant not flowing as it should. In the case of thermostat problems, the engine doesn’t know when it should and shouldn’t be trying to cool itself.
Routine Care

Radiator Repair FAQs
Radiator Repair Questions

Why do radiators work so hard in Orlando?
Orlando’s warm weather puts extra load on your cooling system. If the radiator or cooling system fails, the engine can overheat quickly, which breaks down the engine oil and causes wear over time.
Where do radiator leaks usually come from?
Most leaks start at the radiator fins after debris punctures them, at a worn filler cap, or from corrosion where the bottom hose connects.
My car is overheating but the radiator looks fine. What else could it be?
Overheating can also come from the water pump, a head gasket problem, worn hoses, a thermostat stuck open or closed, a faulty temperature sensor, a loose or worn belt, or a failed radiator fan. Our mechanic checks the whole cooling system to find the real cause.
What is a radiator flush and how long does it take?
A flush drains and refills the cooling system as a routine precaution. It won’t fix a fault on its own, but our mechanic inspects the system while it’s drained. It usually takes less than an hour.
