How long do most auto radiators last before they need to be fixed or replaced?
You can get about ten to fifteen years on your radiator before you would have to change it. You are going to need to flush your coolant about every 60,000 miles to ensure that your radiator stays good and does not get clogged.

What does a car water pump do?
A vehicles water pump circulates coolant ( water and antifreeze ) through the engine and to the heater core and the radiator. The coolant is warmed up in the engine and the coolant carries the heat to the radiator where it cooled down before being recirculated through the engine again.
Ive replaced the water pump the radiator the thermostat so why does your car still heat up you have to add more water every two days?
Find out where you're leaking. Anything that causes the coolant to leak out is cause for concern. Fill the radiator. Leave the radiator cap off and start the engine. Watch for bubbles. If there are quite a few bubbles and the coolant wants to blow out even before the engine gets warm, you might have a head gasket problem.
