What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Mazda?

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.

Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

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.

When should my Mazda MPV radiator be cleaned?

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

What is causing my MPV to overheat?

Your Mazda MPV engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.

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

Air pockets in your MPV’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 MPV radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Having rust in your Mazda MPV radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

When to Service Your 2003 Mazda MPV Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Mazda MPV radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2003 Mazda MPV is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, Mazda recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
