Heat is a major byproduct of moving mechanical parts. Unfortunately, it’s also bad for those parts. Since your engine generates heat, it needs some way to lower the temperature inside your engine bay so that your parts can keep working.
Your vehicle accomplishes this task through your BMW 318i radiator. As its name suggests, the 318i radiator is responsible for radiating heat.
It is easy to locate your radiator, as it is a large component located right in the front of your engine bay. Your BMW 318i radiator has a series of horizontal or vertical fins on both sides, and inside those fins are several tubes and passages that are designed to hold large amounts of fluid. When heated coolant flows into your radiator via your water pump, it is spread out through the tubes. Air blowing through your front grille helps to cool the fluid, and when your vehicle is not moving an auxiliary fan kicks in for this purpose. There are several different problems that can develop with your 318i radiator. If rust and debris circulating through the coolant builds up inside the tubes, this can cause blockages that may burst your radiator hose. Also, over time rust and corrosion can eat holes in the radiator itself, causing leaks. Radiators are often damaged in minor front-end collisions as well.
