Find out why taking care of your commercial vehicle’s radiator is so important, with the experts at Applied Radiators Ltd. We deliver expert commercial vehicle radiator repair Stoke-on-Trent-wide and further afield, but here are a few tips to help you avoid the need for repairs.


What does your radiator do?


Your radiator contains coolant, or antifreeze, which is the most important way your vehicle regulates heat from the engine and stops it from overheating. An effective radiator is vital, and therefore maintaining it properly and repairing it quickly when required is one way you can avoid the bigger and more complex problems that can come from engine damage.



How do I take care of my radiator?


There are a few things you can do to make sure your radiator lasts for its full expected lifespan and continues to work effectively to cool your engine. The first and most simple thing you can do is to regularly check that you have the right level of coolant in your radiator. This will prevent damage and keep your radiator working efficiently.


The next bit of essential maintenance is a radiator flush in line with the recommendations in your vehicle’s owners’ manual. This is where the old coolant is removed, along with any build-up that can clog the radiator and stop it working efficiently, before being replaced with new coolant.

Finally, your vehicle should alert you if your coolant level is low, and if this happens regularly, you should get the radiator checked for leaks, and any that are found repaired as soon as possible. Quick repairs will help to prolong the lifespan of your radiator.
