Suzuki Ignis Radiator: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
On the Ignis, coolant from the air conditioning drain pipe specifically genuinely points toward a leaking heater core rather than the radiator.

Suzuki Ignis Radiator: OEM Part Number
| Manual gearbox, all engines | Standard radiator with no transmission cooling circuit |
|---|---|
| Automatic/CVT, all engines | A dedicated transmission fluid cooler is fitted — either built into the radiator's tank or as a separate unit connected into the coolant circuit depending on exact model and generation — confirmed as a genuinely different radiator/cooling setup from the manual version, not interchangeable without the correct cooling circuit |
Suzuki Ignis Radiator: The Part That Keeps Everything Else From Cooking
It's an unglamorous part, but on the Suzuki Ignis, the cooling system is behind almost every serious non-wear engine failure that could have been prevented. Spotting trouble here early is about as cheap an insurance policy as exists against a genuinely expensive repair bill.
Suzuki Ignis Radiator: What It Does
On the Suzuki Ignis, heat from the engine coolant is shed to the surrounding air through the radiator, keeping engine temperature in a safe range. On automatic gearboxes, it often doubles up, cooling transmission fluid through a separate internal circuit too — which is why getting the exact part number right matters more here than on a simple heat exchanger.

A Genuinely Specific, Real Diagnostic Clue Worth Knowing — Suzuki Ignis Radiator
If you notice coolant coming specifically from the air conditioning system's drain pipe, rather than from underneath the car generally, this is genuinely worth knowing: this is a specific sign pointing toward a leaking heater core rather than the radiator itself — worth checking this detail before assuming the radiator is at fault.
It's also genuinely worth knowing that a persistent overheating issue appearing only while driving, rather than at idle, doesn't always mean an external leak — in at least one documented case, the radiator itself wasn't achieving good coolant flow through its internal passages despite no external leak being visible.
