When Does My 1983 Plymouth Turismo 2.2 Radiator Need Service?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Plymouth Turismo 2.2 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. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1983 Plymouth Turismo 2.2 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. To keep your radiator functioning, Plymouth recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Radiator problems often go hand in hand with water pump problems. The water pump is one part on your 1983 Plymouth Turismo 2.2 engine that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified. This vital part keeps coolant moving through the engine, hoses, and radiator. Without it, your engine won't maintain its optimal temperature. Let our technicians examine your radiator pumps and hoses to ensure everything is operating as it should. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’re here to give your 1983 Plymouth Turismo 2.2 the top-notch service it needs.

Plymouth Turismo 2.2 Radiator Q&A

With regular maintenance and service as needed, you could extend the life of your 1983 Plymouth Turismo 2.2 radiator. Get answers to common radiator questions, and head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care as soon as you suspect a radiator issue.

  • Why is the coolant light on my Plymouth dashboard on? 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.
  • What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor? 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.
  • When should my Plymouth Turismo 2.2 radiator be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your Plymouth Turismo 2.2 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • Why is my Turismo 2.2 overheating? One of the main reasons your Plymouth Turismo 2.2 engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What is making my Turismo 2.2 radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Turismo 2.2. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
  • There’s rust in my Turismo 2.2 radiator. Should I be worried? Yes. Rust in your Plymouth Turismo 2.2 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.
