When Does My 2019 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Radiator Need Service?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2019 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, BMW recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Coolant Fluid Exchange

What does radiator repair include? If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.

Issues with your radiator often coincide with a malfunctioning water pump. Of all the parts in your 2019 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe engine, the water pump is one that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified. This pump ensures that coolant is always flowing through the radiator, hoses, and engine. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat. Let our technicians examine your radiator pumps and hoses to ensure everything is operating as it should. From the heater core to the radiator cap, we’re here to give your 2019 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe the top-notch service it needs. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.

Common BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Radiator Questions

Take care of your 2019 BMW Alpina B6 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.

  • What does the coolant light on my BMW dashboard mean? Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • Can an antifreeze leak wait? Don’t ignore puddles on your driveway or garage floor. If you see a green, bright orange, or pink fluid puddling under your car (it might be sticky, too), it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out of the engine. Antifreeze has a sweet, attractive smell to cats and dogs (and it’s highly toxic to them), so look out for your pets! Repair any leaks as soon as possible, then carefully wash away any remaining fluid that’s left behind on the driveway or garage floor.
  • When should my BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe radiator be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • Why is my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe overheating? One of the main reasons your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? There could be air pockets in your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
  • Should I be concerned about rust in my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe radiator? Yes. If you have rust in your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe radiator, it could cause leaks, negatively impact cooling efficiency, and eventually lead to radiator failure. Left unaddressed, radiator rust can erode the cooling passages, creating cracks or small holes. Properly maintaining your radiator system can help stop it from rusting.
