Hi Renee, I’ll be tackling your problem in my next post. I’m still consulting my books on this one. You see, if you have to constantly change your radiator, then it’s possible that the damage could be caused by blown seams, tube-to-header leaks or possibly a build up of black iron sludge underneath the unit. Leaky fittings could also be a prime candidate.

If the problem is electric then it’s possible that your issue has to do with your ignition wires. These wires naturally give off electromagnetic energy. When a stray current hits, it could cause an electrochemical reaction inside your radiator’s tubes, which could lead to the quick destruction of your current cooling system.

Try asking your mechanic where the general areas of wear and tear begins to show up.

here’s a better explanation Trushar…

inherently, the car’s temperature is hot. this is due to the operation of the internal combustion engine. since the engine churns the car’s fuel and oxygen supply, it generates a lot of heat along the way. hence, every car needs a cooling system, which is being run by the car’s radiator. but while the car performs really well under a high temperature, we all know that it could also cause the engine parts to wear out easily, or worse, cause the car to overheat.

so in your case, if the car temperature says it’s hot, then you should turn your engine off and let it cool off for a while. other people idle their engines for a while, but doing so does not really help. so shut your engine for a minute and then start fresh. it is probably also best for you to get some Suzuki cold air intakes, they will help a lot in your case…

Hope that helps… – Auto Frankie’s girlfriend, Suzie A.

I’m not really sure to what exactly your car’s problem is Trushar. But, you can do several things about it. First of all, check if the radiator has enough coolant to go about. As far as I’m concerned with Suzuki wagons, they not need much coolants. Second, the problem is maybe with the air conditioning. Do double check that. Third, well just follow the 5 steps indicated on the post and I’m sure you’ll somehow fix the heating problems.
