When Does My 2020 Audi A5 Sportback Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Audi A5 Sportback radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2020 Audi A5 Sportback is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Audi recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

What to Expect from Audi A5 Sportback Radiator Repair

What’s included in a radiator repair service? If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Audi A5 Sportback’s cooling system.

Radiator problems often go hand in hand with water pump problems. Of all the parts in your 2020 Audi A5 Sportback engine, the water pump is one that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified. The role of the water pump is to keep coolant circulating in your engine, radiator, and hoses. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat.

Common Audi A5 Sportback Radiator Questions

With regular maintenance and service as needed, you could extend the life of your 2020 Audi A5 Sportback radiator. Get answers to common radiator questions, and head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care as soon as you suspect a radiator issue.

  • What does the coolant light on my Audi dashboard mean? Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor? Notice a leaking fluid that's green, bright orange, or pink and feels sticky? It might be antifreeze. Antifreeze is toxic but has a sweet smell and taste that's attractive to many cats and dogs. Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!
  • Can Audi A5 Sportback radiators be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your Audi A5 Sportback radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • Why is my A5 Sportback overheating? One of the main reasons your Audi A5 Sportback engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • My A5 Sportback radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? There could be air pockets in your A5 Sportback’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
  • There’s rust in my A5 Sportback radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Rust in your Audi A5 Sportback radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure. Left unchecked, rust can damage the radiator's cooling passages causing small holes or cracks in the radiator. Maintain your radiator system to help prevent rust.
