Radiator Servicing & Repair in the UAE - Viking Emirates Radiators
Viking Emirates Radiators & Cooling Systems has been servicing, repairing, and supplying radiators for heavy duty vehicles, industrial equipment, and marine applications across the UAE for over 25 years. From our Sharjah facility, we provide radiator servicing to fleet operators, vehicle workshops, construction companies, and equipment owners who depend on reliable engine cooling to keep their operations running in the extreme heat conditions of the Gulf region.
What Is Radiator Servicing?
Radiator servicing covers the full range of maintenance, repair, cleaning, and replacement work required to keep a vehicle or equipment cooling system operating at its designed capacity. Over time, radiators accumulate scale, sludge, and corrosion deposits internally, suffer external fin damage that restricts airflow, develop leaks at joints or in the core, and degrade in overall heat transfer performance. In the UAE, where ambient temperatures place cooling systems under sustained stress for much of the year, a radiator that is partially blocked, leaking, or operating below capacity is a direct risk to engine reliability and longevity. Regular servicing identifies problems before they lead to overheating events and costly engine damage.

Our Servicing Capabilities
Comprehensive radiator servicing and repair for a wide range of vehicles, equipment, and industrial applications across the UAE and Gulf region.
Radiator Cleaning & Flushing
Internal descaling and chemical flushing to remove scale, sludge, and corrosion deposits that reduce coolant flow and heat transfer performance.
Core Repair & Recore
Damaged or severely corroded radiator cores repaired or replaced with high-quality copper cores while retaining serviceable tanks and headers where possible.
Leak Detection & Repair
Pressure testing to identify leaks at joints, seams, tanks, and core tubes, followed by repair using appropriate soldering or sealing methods.
Tank Repair & Replacement
Cracked, damaged, or corroded radiator tanks repaired or replaced to restore pressure integrity and prevent coolant loss.
Custom Radiator Rebuilds
Full rebuilds to customer specifications for vehicles or equipment where standard replacement units are not available or where upgraded cooling capacity is required.
Fin Straightening & Core Cleaning
External fin straightening and compressed air or water cleaning to restore airflow through damaged or blocked radiator cores.
Applications
Our radiator servicing covers fleet operators, vehicle workshops, construction companies, and equipment owners throughout Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE and Gulf region.
Heavy Duty Trucks
& Transport
Radiator servicing and repair for commercial transport fleets and long-haul vehicles operating in Gulf conditions.
Construction & Earthmoving Equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a radiator be serviced?
In UAE operating conditions, a radiator flush and inspection is recommended every two years or every 40,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Vehicles and equipment operating in dusty or high-load conditions may require more frequent attention.
Can a leaking radiator be repaired rather than replaced?
In many cases yes. Minor leaks at joints, seams, or individual core tubes can be repaired by soldering or resealing. Severely corroded or extensively damaged cores are more cost-effectively addressed through recoring or full replacement. Our team will assess and recommend the most practical option for your unit.
What is radiator recoring and when is it necessary?
Recoring involves removing the damaged or degraded heat exchanger core from the existing radiator and fitting a new core to the original tanks and headers. It is a cost-effective option when the tanks and structural components remain in good condition but the core itself is too damaged or corroded to repair.
Do you service radiators for heavy construction equipment and gen-sets?
Yes. We service radiators for bulldozers, excavators, cranes, loaders, diesel gen-sets, and other heavy duty equipment. Our team is experienced with the larger and more complex cooling systems found in industrial and construction machinery.
How do I know if my radiator needs servicing?
Common indicators include the engine running hotter than normal, coolant loss without a visible external leak, discoloured or contaminated coolant, visible corrosion or physical damage to the radiator body, reduced heater output in the cabin, or a persistent sweet smell from the engine bay.
