Hyundai Radiators

The cooling system in your Hyundai vehicle helps keep its engine from overheating. Its radiator is critical to the process. If you've ever wondered what yours does exactly, you're in luck: you can learn all you'd like to know, right here.

Hyundai Radiators FAQ

How Do They Work?

The process starts with a water pump. It helps pass liquid coolant (antifreeze) between inlet and outlet hoses. The antifreeze captures heat during its travels. A radiator cap also pressurizes the fluid as it moves.

When heat absorption is at maximum, the radiator's fins release the heat. A cooling fan then helps scatter it. As a result, your engine both works properly and lasts longer.

No radiator is permanent, though. Sometimes, one can fail, causing other trouble in the process, like heating and air conditioning malfunctions and outright engine failure. Luckily, the symptoms of it are easy to spot.

What are the Signs of a Bad One?

They include:

• An unusually noisy engine
• Steam billowing from under the hood
• Corroded or damaged radiator fins
• Debris in the radiator
• Mucky coolant
• A sweet, syrupy odor -- ethylene glycol, which usually means a coolant leak
• The temperature sensor on the dash reading hot
