  • Radiator Replacement: Full removal and installation of a new radiator when repair is not viable due to extensive corrosion, cracking, or internal clogging.
  • Coolant Flush & Fill: Draining old coolant, flushing the system to remove deposits and contaminants, and refilling with the manufacturer-recommended coolant type.

  • Thermostat & Radiator Cap Testing: Verifying that the thermostat opens at the correct temperature and the radiator cap holds proper system pressure.

When to Seek Radiator Service

Cooling system problems require prompt attention. If you notice any of the following, bring your vehicle to Krietz Auto before the problem leads to engine damage:

  • Temperature Gauge Rising: The engine temperature gauge climbing above normal or reaching the red zone, especially in traffic or warm weather.
  • Coolant Leak: Green, orange, or pink fluid pooling under your vehicle after it has been parked.
  • Low Coolant Warning: The low coolant warning light illuminating on the dashboard, or the coolant reservoir level consistently dropping.
  • Overheating: Steam or vapor coming from under the hood, indicating the cooling system can no longer manage engine heat.
  • Discolored Coolant: Coolant that appears rusty, muddy, or has visible debris floating in it, suggesting internal corrosion or contamination.
  • Heater Not Working: The cabin heater blowing cold air, which can indicate low coolant or a clogged heater core connected to the same cooling circuit.
