Why Cooling System Health Matters
Your car’s engine produces a huge amount of heat, and it relies on the cooling system to prevent serious damage. Overheating can warp cylinder heads, crack engine blocks, and lead to complete engine failure if not addressed quickly. Even mild cooling system issues—like a clogged radiator or leaking hose—can reduce performance, increase fuel consumption, and shorten your engine’s lifespan.
That’s why routine inspection and fast response to warning signs are essential. Catching a small leak or thermostat issue early can save you thousands in engine repairs. Mobile mechanics can pressure-test your system, identify leaks, flush out old coolant, and get everything back to factory condition—all without you ever needing to leave the house.
ACT Mobile Mechanics provides responsive, expert care across Canberra, making cooling system repairs simpler and more convenient than ever.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of a failing cooling system?
Common signs include engine overheating, steam from the bonnet, temperature warning lights, sweet-smelling odours (indicating coolant leaks), low coolant levels, or visible puddles under your vehicle. Fluctuating temperature readings and heater malfunctions can also signal trouble. It’s important to address these signs immediately to prevent engine damage.
Can I drive if my engine is overheating?
No—it’s highly unsafe. Driving with an overheating engine can cause severe and permanent damage. If you see the temperature gauge rising rapidly or notice steam, pull over immediately, switch off the engine, and allow it to cool. Contact a mobile mechanic or roadside service to assess and fix the issue safely.
How often should coolant be changed?
Coolant should typically be replaced every 2 to 5 years, depending on the vehicle and the type of coolant used. Some manufacturers specify intervals based on kilometres. Old or degraded coolant loses its ability to regulate engine temperature and prevent corrosion, increasing the risk of overheating or internal damage.
