Should you drive with a faulty Hyundai Excel radiator?

It’s best to avoid driving with a faulty Hyundai Excel radiator as it’ll lead to engine damage like a blown head gasket from overheating. The best thing to do if your Excel’s is overheating or you think you have radiator problems is to pull over and allow your car to completely cool down. While you’re waiting, call your mycar mechanic, who can book you in to get your radiator inspected and fixed. If you must drive, make sure you fill the radiator up with coolant (or distilled water if you have it), and only travel as far as is absolutely necessary. You can also turn up the heater in your car to help keep the engine cool.
