When to Service Your 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Cadillac Escalade ESV 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 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Cadillac recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. 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.

Radiator Repair Service for Your Cadillac Escalade ESV

What’s included in a radiator repair service? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Cadillac Escalade ESV cooling system.

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too.

This vital part keeps coolant moving through the engine, hoses, and radiator. Without it, your engine won't maintain its optimal temperature.

Common Cadillac Escalade ESV Radiator Questions

Wondering how to make your 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV 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 Cadillac dashboard mean? Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Is an antifreeze leak dangerous? 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 Cadillac Escalade ESV radiator be cleaned? To keep your Cadillac Escalade ESV radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • Why is my Escalade ESV overheating? One of the main reasons your Cadillac Escalade ESV 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 is making my Escalade ESV radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling? Air pockets in your Escalade ESV’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.
  • There’s rust in my Escalade ESV radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Cadillac Escalade ESV 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.
