What are the signs of a bad radiator?
My car’s been feeling a little cold recently, and I wonder if something is wrong with my radiator. Can you tell me the signs of a bad radiator?

If there’s an issue with your car’s radiator, it won’t be shy about letting you know. Here are signs of a bad radiator:
- An overheated engine
- Coolant leaks
- Difficulty changing gears
- Low coolant levels
- A buildup of sludge on your radiator
Radiators typically only last around 8 to 10 years, so if you’ve had your car for that amount of time, it’s probably a good idea to
take it to a mechanic
. While you’re at it, you should also re-up your car insurance
policy by shopping with Jerry
. Jerry is the easiest and most effective way to find a car insurance policy that is customized for you.
