If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your X5. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

There’s rust in my X5 radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your BMW X5 can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator. Over time, rust can eat away at the radiator's cooling passages, forming tiny holes or cracks that can affect its operation. To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.

Is It Time for Service on My 2007 BMW X5 Cooling System?

It can be tough to know when to have your BMW X5 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, 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 2007 BMW X5 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, BMW recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

What to Expect from BMW X5 Radiator Repair

What happens during a radiator repair service? When you come to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we’ll begin your radiator repair with an in-depth inspection of the cooling system in your BMW X5.

If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that we’re here to give your 2007 BMW X5 the top-notch service it needs.
