Is a Weak Radiator the Reason My Bolan Engine Keeps Overheating on Long Routes?

Whenever I drive for over an hour, especially on highways, the engine starts to overheat. A mechanic mentioned the radiator might be clogged o r weak. Is this a known issue with Bolans cooling system, especially in older models?

Yes, a weak o r clogged radiator is a common cause of overheating during long drives. Over time, rust, scale deposits, o r low-quality coolant can block the radiator tubes, reducing heat dissipation. In older Suzuki Bolan vans, especially those used on rough terrain o r with poor maintenance history, radiator performance s significantly. In such cases, flushing o r replacing the radiator is often necessary. Also, check for leaks o r damaged radiator caps, as they can reduce pressure and cause coolant to boil at a lower temperature.
