What does the coolant light on my Mitsubishi 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.

Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!

Do Mitsubishi Cordia radiators need to be cleaned?

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

Why is my Cordia overheating?

If your Mitsubishi Cordia engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.

Why does the radiator in my Cordia sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?

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

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

Yes. Rust in your Mitsubishi Cordia radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure. Left unchecked, rust can damage the radiator's cooling passages causing small holes or cracks in the radiator. Maintain your radiator system to help prevent rust.

When to Service Your 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Mitsubishi Cordia radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for. 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 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Mitsubishi recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced 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. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

Mitsubishi Cordia Coolant Fluid Exchange

What’s included in a radiator repair service? If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Mitsubishi Cordia’s cooling system. Then, we’ll move on to a machine-powered coolant exchange. Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks.

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too. Some services for your 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia engine can wait, but the water pump is one part that you can't put off repairing or replacing. The role of the water pump is to keep coolant circulating in your engine, radiator, and hoses. If it isn’t functioning properly, your engine won’t be able to stay within its optimal temperature range. Our technicians can take a look at your radiator’s components to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. From the radiator cap to the heater core, we’re here to give your 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia the top-notch service it needs. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.
