Genuine Toyota OEM Radiators

Radiators are parts of vehicle cooling systems. They help engines run smoothly by keeping them from overheating. How they do that is a process that begins with coolant (antifreeze).

As the engine runs, it generates heat -- a lot of it. The antifreeze, traveling between inlet and outlet hoses with help from a water pump, traps that heat. A radiator cap compresses the liquid as it travels. When heat absorption is at its max, a set of fins releases the heat, and a fan helps dissipate it. As a result, the engine keeps working properly, and an engine that functions as well as it can lasts longer.

Unfortunately, though, radiators don't last indefinitely. Sometimes, they simply go bad. When this happens, other problems follow -- everything from heating and air conditioning system malfunctions to engine failure. Fortunately, the signs of a bad radiator are pretty easy to spot. They include:

• Odd noises coming from the engine
• Damaged radiator fins
• Antifreeze that's turned sludgy
• A sweet, syrup-like smell (ethylene glycol -- this usually indicates a coolant leak)

Of course, if the needle or digital display that shows info from the vehicle's temperature sensor reads hot, it can indicate radiator failure. In any case, a careful radiator inspection is recommended.
