Is It Time for Service on My 2018 Audi TTS Quattro Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Audi TTS Quattro radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2018 Audi TTS Quattro is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. 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 could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’ll take excellent care of your 2018 Audi TTS Quattro at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.
