How much does a radiator replacement cost?

Depending on the type of vehicle you have and the location of the radiator, a typical radiator replacement cost will be somewhere between $300 - $1,000. 

Don't worry though, when you get quotes through Auto Hero, you'll be able to compare prices to make sure you're not being charged more than you should.

What does the car radiator do?

A radiator works as a heat exchanger - using air that blows onto it to cool the cooling fluid inside. This coolant fluid is continually pumped around the engine by the car's water pump - and helps to make sure the engine doesn't get too hot.

A radiator is usually made up of a 'core' and two coolant reservoir tanks that sit and either side of this core. Hot coolant enters the first reservoir and is then directed through a series of pipes that run through the core. 

This core section is covered in small fins that help to dissipate heat and cool the internal coolant tubes. Usually, a fan that sits behind the radiator helps to pull cool air onto the core.

Your car's radiator is a crucial part of keeping your car's engine cool and healthy. Without it working as it should, you may end up with serious damage to the engine block that far outweighs any radiator replacement costs.

How can you tell if you need a new radiator?

Some symptoms that you don't have a properly functioning radiator are:

Overheating engine

If your temperature gauge is showing that the operating temperature of your engine is higher than usual, it might be a sign that your need a radiator repair or replacement

Coolant leak

If you find coolant leaking from the car's cooling system (often a blue, green, or red colour liquid) it may suggest that the vehicle has a leaking radiator - often from a crack or split

Steam coming from the engine

Steam coming from under the bonnet when the car is running might suggest that coolant is leaking and falling onto a hot component

Hissing noise

If you can hear a hissing noise from under the bonnet (often when the car has been turned off) it may suggest coolant is being forced through a small split or crack

How is a broken radiator replaced?

A mechanic will usually follow these steps if your radiator needs to be replaced:

1. Inspection

First, the whole system will be inspected to look for signs of what the problem could be

2. Coolant drained

If the radiator does need to be replaced, the radiator cap will be removed and the full system will be drained

3. Hoses and fan secured

The radiator fan and all the hoses that attach to the radiator will be removed and secured out of the way of the radiator

4. Radiator removed

The malfunctioning radiator will be dismounted and removed from the vehicle

5. System flush

The full coolant system will be flushed through to make sure any debris is removed from the system

6. New radiator installed

The new radiator will be installed and the hoses and fan reconnected

7. New Radiaotir coolant Added

New coolant will be added to the system through the radiator cap

8. Road/pressure test

A road test will be carried out to make sure the new radiator is functioning as it should. Some workshops will also carry out a pressure test to make sure other components in the cooling system are working as they should - i.e. the water pump, cooling fan, and radiator tubes
