The radiator on a 2003 Chevy Malibu is located at the front of the engine compartment, behind the grille. It is positioned between the front bumper and the engine, typically mounted to the support brackets. To access it, you may need to remove any obstructions, such as the front grille or cooling fans. Always ensure the engine is cool before attempting any work on the radiator.

To change the engine coolant on a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu with a 3.1-liter engine, start by ensuring the engine is cool. Locate the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator and place a container underneath to catch the old coolant. Remove the drain plug and allow the coolant to completely drain out. After replacing the drain plug, fill the radiator with a 50/50 mixture of new coolant and distilled water, then run the engine with the heater on to circulate the coolant and ensure there are no air pockets. Finally, check the coolant level and add more if necessary.
Build up in the radiator system or a plug can cause this. Do a radiator flush (or have a professional do it if you're not interested but it's fairly easy if you read an online HOWTO) to remove the grime and refill with fresh coolant. This solved the problem in my 2003. Check the low coolant level sensor and replace if defective. It is in the side of the radiator.
