How do you know your radiator is working? I thought mine wasn't spinning but my other cars doesnt spin either when i check. Except theres a heat/strong smell as if its getting 2 hot in the engine.

hes probably talking about his fan
well let your car run for a while and make sure your fan kicks in
also watch the temp gauge, when driving it should be below %50
make sure you check around the radiator for leaks or any green puddles

ur radiator doesnt spin. the fan behind it does. the fan only spins when it starts to heat up, as in when no air is moving through the radiator for a long period of time.

on a hot day, the fan shuold come on in about 3 minutes while at idle.
