What does a radiator do, anyway? It assists in keeping your engine temperature within a safe range.

To properly maintain your radiator, Alfa Romeo’s maintenance guidelines recommend that you replace the coolant in your 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider at regular intervals. Not sure what signs could indicate a faulty radiator? An abnormally high engine temperature, low coolant light on your dashboard, or coolant leaks below your car could all signify that you need radiator repair.
