One of the main reasons your Cadillac CTS 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 CTS radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?

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

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

Yes. Rust in your Cadillac CTS 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.
