If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range.

BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Radiator Q&A

Take care of your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiator and it will last. Check out our top questions and answers about BMW radiators below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of an overheating engine.

  • Why is the coolant light on my BMW dashboard on? 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? It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.
  • Do BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiators need to be cleaned? To keep your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • Why is my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe overheating? If your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • My 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
  • There’s rust in my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Having rust in your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
