Coolant system: common issues
When it comes to a vehicle overheating, there can be several culprits. To help pinpoint what may be going on in your vehicle, here are some common symptoms and causes of coolant system failure.
- Overheating: The radiator cap may not be releasing enough pressure.
- Car is Too Warm: The turbulator may be failing and may not be cooling the air.
- Car Stops Working: The engine block can get too hot if there is not adequate cooling running through it and the engine parts can fuse together.
- Overheating with Pooling Under the Vehicle: If there is a problem with the coolant hoses such as a crack or break then the liquid will leak out and not be transferred to the engine.

What happens if I don’t get a radiator flush or service?
Over time rust and scale deposits accumulate and the whole system becomes choked and it becomes less effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.
Do you check my coolant during a car service?
At Northgate Automotive in Northgate at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.
