We recommend acting quickly if your vehicle shows any of the following symptoms:
- Engine temperature gauge running higher than normal
- Coolant leaks or puddles under the vehicle
- Steam or a sweet smell coming from the engine bay
- Frequently topping up coolant or low coolant warning light
- Heater not working properly or fluctuating temperature
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait. Our qualified mechanics can diagnose the fault and get your radiator running efficiently again.
FAQ
What are common signs of cooling system problems?
Common symptoms include rising engine temperature, coolant leaks, steam from under the bonnet, a sweet smell, low coolant levels or the heater not working properly. These signs should never be ignored.
Why is my vehicle losing coolant?
Coolant loss may be caused by a leak in the radiator, hoses, water pump or heater core. It could also be due to a faulty cap or internal engine issue, so diagnosis is essential.
How often should I flush or service my cooling system?
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 2–4 years or 40,000–60,000 km. Regular servicing keeps the system clean, prevents corrosion and helps avoid overheating issues.
