Overheating is a huge threat to any car's engine. The radiator plays a key role in keeping the engine cool by drawing heat from the coolant as it circulates throughout the system. If your radiator runs into trouble, head to your local Ford dealer right away for radiator repair. If you notice but ignore any of the following signs of a malfunctioning radiator, your engine could rapidly overheat and undergo permanent damage. more 5 Signs Your Ford Needs a Radiator Repair Overheating Engine The most urgent indication of a bad radiator is an overheating engine. If your cooling system fails and the engine heats up, you'll see the engine temperature gauge rising into the red on your dashboard. Never ignore this gauge; pull over at once, allow your engine to cool down, and call for professional assistance. Further signs of overheating include ticking or knocking sounds, white vapor coming from under the hood, and plummeting engine power. The hood will also become hot to the touch. Damaged Radiator Fins It's a good idea to visually check your radiator once in a while. If you find leaves and other debris clogging the radiator's fins, clean it all away as the airflow between the fins is vital for dispersing the heat. If any of the fins are bent or cracked, you may need a new radiator. Low or Leaking Coolant You can check the level and condition of your coolant by looking at the coolant reservoir, which is typically transparent. If the coolant has sunk below the minimum level marker, top it up at once. If your coolant keeps declining in volume, you may have a leak; check under your car for puddles of fluid that matches the color of the coolant inside the reservoir. If it's coolant, the fluid will also have a sweet smell. Rust Inside the Radiator When coolant grows old and deteriorates, it loses its anti-corrosion properties. As a result, it's possible for rust to form inside the radiator. If this occurs, your coolant will gradually become discolored, fading to a rusty brown color inside the reservoir. Rust on the Radiator You can also look for patches of rust on the outside of the radiator. A little rust can often be cleaned away before harm is done. But if you find extensive rust, the radiator may soon leak and will probably have to go. Your Ford Dealer Can Inspect Your Cooling System It's wise to have your radiator and entire cooling system inspected every 30,000 miles (you can check the recommended interval for your vehicle in the owner's manual). Our experienced technicians can visually inspect and pressure-test various elements of your radiator, examine the rest of the cooling system, and flush the coolant if need be. Visit Jack Madden Ford Sales Inc in Norwood, MA, today to have your radiator promptly repaired or replaced. We've been providing top-notch service to the region's drivers for over 70 years.

Is it time for an oil change at your Ford dealer? Obviously, if your oil change light has come on or you've noticed a big puddle of oil in your driveway, it's probably time. Here are some of the other, less obvious ways to tell. more How to Tell You Need an Oil Change from Your Ford Dealer It's Been At Least Six Months Depending on the exact model you have and how old it is, as well as whether you're using regular oil or synthetic, you'll usually want to have the oil changed every six months to one year. If you have a newer model, you have synthetic oil, and you don't drive under difficult conditions, you may be able to go as long as a year. But if you do a lot of towing or hauling, if you drive in particularly dirty and dusty environments, or if most of your drives are short drives of 5 miles or less, you're putting extra strain on the engine and you'll want to change out the oil on time. It's Been Around 7,500 Miles You'll notice that your owner's manual tells you to change the oil every X number of miles or Y number of months. That's because some people will drive 5000 miles in just three months while others will take six or eight months to get there. Check your owner's manual to know for sure what's right for you, but, in general, most modern Fords need the oil changed right around 7,500 miles. Once you have come to see us a few times, we'll have a good idea of your engine and driving habits and will be able to give you even more specific advice. There's New Noises You drive all the time, so you should be very familiar with the sounds your car makes. If you notice some strange new ones, and particularly any knocking or grinding, this could be happening because the oil is old. Basically, it is losing some of its protective properties and is no longer lubricating the way it should. You Smell Burning in the Cabin If there's oil leaking within the engine, it won't necessarily all go out onto the ground. Sometimes the oil leaks onto the engine itself, and then it burns away as the engine heats up. When this happens, you'll smell burning. If it's time to swap out your oil for a fresh new batch, come see our experts at Jack Madden Ford in Norwood, MA today.
