What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor?

Notice a leaking fluid that's green, bright orange, or pink and feels sticky? It might be antifreeze. Antifreeze is toxic but has a sweet smell and taste that's attractive to many cats and dogs. Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!

When should my Chevrolet Cruze radiator be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Chevrolet Cruze radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

Why is my Cruze overheating?

Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Chevrolet Cruze engine to overheat.

What is making my Cruze radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?

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

Is it bad to have rust on my Cruze radiator?

Yes. If you have rust in your Chevrolet Cruze radiator, it could cause leaks, negatively impact cooling efficiency, and eventually lead to radiator failure. Left unaddressed, radiator rust can erode the cooling passages, creating cracks or small holes. Properly maintaining your radiator system can help stop it from rusting.

When Does My 2019 Chevrolet Cruze Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Chevrolet Cruze radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2019 Chevrolet Cruze is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. Chevrolet recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. 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. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

What to Expect from Chevrolet Cruze Radiator Repair

What happens during a radiator repair service? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Chevrolet Cruze cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks.

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 2019 Chevrolet Cruze engine, the water pump is one that you can't put off repairing or replacing. This pump ensures that coolant is always flowing through the radiator, hoses, and engine. Without it, your engine won't maintain its optimal temperature. Our technicians can take a look at your radiator’s components to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. When it comes to radiator service and repair, your 2019 Chevrolet Cruze is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We stand behind our work with our Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.
