Why is the coolant light on my Isuzu dashboard on?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

Can an antifreeze leak wait?

It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.

Do Isuzu Amigo radiators need to be cleaned?

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

Why is my Amigo overheating?

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

My Amigo radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?

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

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

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Isuzu Amigo 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.

When to Service Your 1998 Isuzu Amigo Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Isuzu Amigo radiator serviced. Nonetheless, 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. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1998 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 it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator 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.
