How does the radiator cool the engine?
The radiator is made up of its core and water tanks. The core is a pipe or rib system made from aluminium or copper. Radiators are installed in the air flow at the front of the vehicle and the coolant absorbs the heat produced by the engine’s combustion.

My radiator is leaking, what can I do?
Do not try to use a putty-type product to seal a leak. Bring the radiator to us for an assessment. We will first do a pressure test to see where the leak is and advise you if your radiator is in a reasonable condition to be fixed. This may involve changing either the top or bottom tanks or doing a re-core. This is where we manufacture a core to exactly match your existing one, then use your tanks to re-core your radiator.

Can I top up my radiator with
old coolant?
No. If you have coolant already in your radiator ONLY top it up with de-ionisedor de-mineralised water. Using coolants incorrectly can damage your radiator. For details on changing coolants and how to look after your radiator, see our 'Making the most of your replacement radiator' download.
