Kia Rio 1.4 CRDI 2014 radiator location
Discussion
Hi,
Sorry if this post sounds completely insane, but my wife recently paid a garage to replace the radiator in her car due to a leak. This was just after Christmas, but she doesn't use it much due to being on maternity leave. I've just checked and there's no coolant in the expansion tank again.
I've had a look as best as I can under the bonnet to try and identify the leak, but I'm not 100% sure the works been done at all. Can anyone confirm if the radiator-like-thing visible through the grill at the bottom of the bumper is actually the main coolant radiator? The only other thing I can see is a smaller one to the right, which I suspect is the intercooler.
I'm wondering if it's split and the thing I'm looking at is actually the AC or something. I'll try and take a photo tomorrow if no one knows offhand.
Thanks

Aircon condenser is usually foward of the radiator so likely what you are seeing though the grill, look under the bonnet at the rad even if obscured with fan shrouding you be able see some of it that should obviously be new looking.Sorry if this post sounds completely insane, but my wife recently paid a garage to replace the radiator in her car due to a leak.
