| FAQ - Answer 1 | No, an overheating engine could mean an issue with your radiator, but there are other pieces of the cooling system that could cause the engine to overheat. It is important to check for coolant leaks or a malfunctioning fan. If you look at the radiator and there is a lot of corrosion or holes there may be a problem with the radiator. Either way it is important to get the whole cooling system checked when your engine overheats. |
