The radiator is an important piece of your vehicle’s cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature.

In order to keep your engine in excellent shape for years to come, radiator repair is crucial. Additionally, Volkswagen recommends replacing coolant antifreeze in your 1988 Volkswagen Golf at specific 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.
