Signs you need a replacement
- Coolant leaks or puddles under the car
- engine overheating
- discoloured or rusty coolant
- visible corrosion or damage to radiator fins
- steam from under the bonnet
When to replace
Typically lasts 8–10 years. Replace when leaks develop or internal blockages cause overheating. Flush cooling system every 5 years.
