FAQ

Common Questions About Radiator Repair

Extreme cold stresses radiator components, causing existing cracks to worsen. Freeze-thaw cycles create internal pressure cycling that damages radiators. Road salt corrodes radiator components from the outside. Small leaks that don't show in summer become evident in winter cold.

Use automotive coolant rated for temperatures well below -8°C (Breslau winter average). Most modern coolants protect to -26°C or lower. Verify your coolant concentration is 50/50 coolant-to-water ratio for proper freeze protection. Have coolant tested in October.

Flush radiator and refill with fresh coolant every 2 years or annually in Breslau's harsh winter climate. Road salt accelerates corrosion inside the radiator, reducing lifespan. Spring thaw reveals corrosion damage. Regular flushing prevents internal buildup and maintains heating efficiency.
