It could be a good idea to have your Pontiac G6 radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

My G6 overheated! What can cause that?

Your Pontiac G6 engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.

What is making my G6 radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?

Should I be concerned about rust in my G6 radiator?

Yes. Having rust in your Pontiac G6 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.

Is It Time for Service on My 2005 Pontiac G6 Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Pontiac G6 radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2005 Pontiac G6 is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Pontiac recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.
