A leaking radiator is a relatively common problem in Jaguars.
If not promptly attended to, as it will cause your engine to overheat.
Driving with an overheating engine can destroy the engine, requiring very expensive repairs.
There are many things that you should know about radiator leaks in a Jaguar.
One of the most significant signs of a leaking radiator is a visible coolant leak.
Coolant comes in a variety of bright colors and usually has a sweet smell.
It also tends to be sticky. Check underneath the car for a puddle that matches this description.
Another big warning sign is steam coming from the engine when it is warm.
The radiator is pressurized and when fluid escapes at high temperature and high pressure, it escapes as steam.
Your coolant warning light will likely come on if your radiator is leaking, and your car may begin to overheat.
Common cause of a radiator leak is a buildup of corrosion, caused by poor maintenance standards.
Over time, coolant sours, becoming acidic and can even become conductive, creating electrolysis that eats away at the radiator
Because of over-filling the radiator, the increased water pressure can cause leaks.
A failing heater core or thermostat can allow the radiator to get too hot and become overpressurized.
The best solution is to stop driving immediately and contact A&M Auto Service.
