It can be tough to know when to have your Volkswagen Touareg radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it’s vital to know what to look for. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. 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 2004 Volkswagen Touareg is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Volkswagen recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.

Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
