When should you replace this part?
An old Porsche 928 radiator may start leaking or become less effective at cooling due to age.
Possible symptoms include:
-
Coolant leakage at the radiator
-
Regularly falling coolant level
-
Coolant under the front of the car
-
Coolant smell after driving (sweet smell)
-
Leakage at the connection between the core and the plastic side tanks
-
Damaged or heavily contaminated cooling fins
-
Rising engine temperature
-
Insufficient cooling in hot weather or during slow driving
High engine temperature is not always caused by the radiator. Also check the thermostat, water pump, cooling fans, radiator hoses and the rest of the cooling system.

Other coolant hoses
-
Hose clamps
-
Mounting rubbers

Cooling fans and electrical connections
Replace dried-out, cracked or deformed hoses and damaged seals.
