When Does My 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. 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 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. BMW 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 leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

What’s included in a radiator repair service? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive 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).

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too. Of all the parts in your 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive engine, the water pump is one that you can't put off repairing or replacing. The role of the water pump is to keep coolant circulating in your engine, radiator, and hoses. If it isn’t functioning properly, your engine won’t be able to stay within its optimal temperature range. Our trained technicians can inspect your car’s radiator hoses and pumps to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. From the heater core to the radiator cap, we’ll take excellent care of your 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.

Questions About BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Radiators

Take care of your 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive 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.
  • 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.
  • Can BMW Alpina B7 xDrive radiators be cleaned? To keep your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • What can cause my Alpina B7 xDrive to overheat? One of the main reasons your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive 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.
  • What can cause a Alpina B7 xDrive radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your Alpina B7 xDrive’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
  • Is it bad to have rust on my Alpina B7 xDrive radiator? Yes. Having rust in your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure.

To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
