Radiators

One of the most crucial aspects of a healthy vehicle is its temperature. Thankfully, your cooling system works to keep the engine in a safe range. If any of these parts fail, like the radiator, you risk running into issues. The radiator works by introducing cold air to the coolant using fans, which allows it to flow through the engine block and keep it from overheating. If the block gets too hot, a range of things can happen. For starters, it can crack, which costs thousands of dollars to repair. It can also blow a head gasket, which is also costly. Depending on the age of your vehicle, if something this severe happens, it's often better to replace the motor entirely. Why take the risk? Instead, replace your radiator at the first signs of a problem.Watch for a temperature gauge in the red, puddles of coolant on the ground, sludge in the radiator, or low coolant levels. Thankfully, most radiators last as long as 10-years without issue. Experts suggest sticking with OEM parts and accessories for any Kia vehicle. Shop for all your automotive needs at Kia Auto Parts.
