My hubby's little car, a 1994 Corolla, will need a new radiator soon. Slightly less of a problem right now in winter, but his
Toyota Radiator is about 13 years old. Vehicle radiators should be checked yearly and changed out occasionally during the life of a car to maintain cooling performance and reliability.
I think that he ought to get it fixed right now, I hate it when we get stuck with a car that isn't running, and it always happens when it is most inconvenient. I have seen people beside the highway, with steam gushing out of their car, and I don't want it to happen to me.
