Ford Service Technician performing radiator repair on vehicle

Overheating is a danger for your engine, as an excessively high temperature can damage vulnerable engine components. Your Ford has an efficient cooling system centered on the radiator that works to control the temperature. The radiator operates under high pressure, and this can eventually lead to damage. As your Ford dealer, we’d like you to know some signs you need to visit us for a radiator repair.

Signs You Need a Radiator Repair at Your Ford Dealer

Your Coolant Is Old

Coolant is an essential part of your cooling system, as it absorbs engine heat and transports it to the radiator where it’s removed by heat exchange. It’s released when your engine reaches a temperature between 195 F and 220 F and continues to circulate until the temperature falls below this level. Like the other fluids in your car, the coolant must be changed according to a set schedule.

After 30,000 miles, your coolant usually needs replacement. The exact time for replacement for your Ford model will be listed in your car’s manual. Older coolant becomes acidic, and this can cause corrosion in the cooling system. It also becomes less effective at absorbing heat, and this will cause your engine temperature to rise. We’ll fix this problem by drawing your coolant, flushing the cooling system, and refilling it with fresh coolant.

Certified Ford Technicians preparing for oil change

An oil change is an essential part of your Ford’s maintenance. A regular oil and filter change will lubricate and protect your engine, increase fuel efficiency and performance, and extend the life of your engine. Plus, your Ford dealer offers The Works, which includes numerous inspections, checks, and tests to ensure your Ford runs at its best.

How Often Should Your Ford Get an Oil Change From Your Ford Dealer?

Ford Oil and Filter Changes 

If you want to care for your Ford, follow the recommended oil and filter change intervals or pay attention to the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) alert. The oil in your Ford lubricates the moving parts and reduces friction, which can lead to heat and wear. Keeping your oil clean can protect your engine, improve fuel efficiency, and ensure your car lasts longer.

Cars are sturdy pieces of machinery that last a long time, but they do occasionally need repairs. If you know what happens when your car needs a transmission repair, then you know to head to the Ford dealer quickly to get the problem fixed. Fixing issues ASAP stops them from getting too serious and costing you a lot of time and money to repair.

4 Signs You Need a Transmission Repair From Your Ford Dealer

1. Strange Engine Noises

Problems with the transmission are often accompanied by clanking or humming noises coming from the engine. These noises will be obvious when you’re changing gears. Even if the noise is faint, it’s generally a sign of trouble. Cars don’t start making new noises for no reason, so hearing new sounds means you should get right to the dealer.

If you’re also noticing noises while your car is in neutral, then it’s definitely a sign that there’s something wrong with the transmission. You might just need some new transmission fluid, or maybe a small part needs to be replaced.
