What does the coolant light on my Isuzu 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.

Do Isuzu Amigo radiators need to be cleaned?

To keep your Isuzu Amigo radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.

What is causing my Amigo to overheat?

What can cause a Amigo radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?

There could be air pockets in your Amigo’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).

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

Yes. Having rust in your Isuzu Amigo radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure.

To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

Is It Time for Service on My 1994 Isuzu Amigo Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Isuzu Amigo radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. 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 1994 Isuzu Amigo is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Isuzu recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled 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 notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Isuzu Amigo Coolant Fluid Exchange

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 Isuzu Amigo. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too. The water pump is one part on your 1994 Isuzu Amigo engine that you'll want to have repaired or replaced as soon as you discover a problem with it. This vital part keeps coolant moving through the engine, hoses, and radiator. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat. Our technicians can take a look at your radiator’s components to help make sure everything is in working order. If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that we’ll take excellent care of your 1994 Isuzu Amigo at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.
