What does a radiator do, anyway? It helps regulate engine temperature. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up.

To properly maintain your radiator, Mercedes-Benz’s maintenance guidelines recommend that you replace the coolant in your 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 at regular intervals. Not sure what signs could indicate a faulty radiator? An abnormally high engine temperature, low coolant light on your dashboard, or coolant leaks below your car could all signify that you need radiator repair.
