Your Volkswagen engine runs warm. The radiator has the job of keeping your engine from overheating, and as a main component of the cooling system, the process begins with coolant or what's commonly known as antifreeze.

The antifreeze, is under pressure from the radiator cap. With help from the water pump, travels through the radiator and filters through the engine with the help from the hoses, that help trap heat and dissipate it back through the radiator with assistance from the radiator fins on the radiator's surface.

Keep in mind, your radiator doesn't last forever. Over time, they can become damaged from road debris kicking up into the undercarriage, or they can experience age and overuse. Some signs that your radiator is damaged or going bad are:

Unusual engine noises
Fin damage
Antifreeze that's turned to sludge
A sweet, syrupy smell beneath the hood
An antifreeze leak

If you have experienced any bad radiator symptoms in your Volkswagen sedan, SUV, or Crossover, you should consider a careful inspection. By catching such issues early on will save your engine from overheating, and will keep you paying for further repairs.
