When to Service Your 1999 Hyundai Tiburon Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Hyundai Tiburon radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. 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.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1999 Hyundai Tiburon is essential for long-term engine health. Hyundai recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.
