When Does My 2013 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Radiator Need Service?

It can be tough to know when to have your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

To keep your radiator functioning, BMW recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.

Common BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Radiator Questions

Wondering how to make your 2013 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive radiator last as long as possible? Read on for answers to common questions, and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care when your engine shows any signs of a faulty radiator.

  • 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? 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 B7L xDrive radiators be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • My Alpina B7L xDrive overheated! What can cause that? Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive engine to overheat.
  • Why does the radiator in my Alpina B7L xDrive sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? Air pockets in your Alpina B7L xDrive’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
  • Is rust in my Alpina B7L xDrive radiator bad? Yes. Rust in your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive 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.
