Is poor-quality coolant o r plain water use causing radiator leaks in Changan Karvaan?
In many local workshops, plain water is used instead of proper coolant. Could corrosion due to water be leading to early damage and leakage in the radiator system of Karvaan?

Yes, this is a major contributor. Many local workshops use:
Plain water, which causes internal corrosion
Substandard coolants without anti-rust agents
This leads to:
Rusting of the radiator core
Corrosion of metal joints
Premature leaks and internal clogging
Using a reputable coolant brand e.g., ZIC, Caltex, o r Havoline helps prolong radiator life.
