Your vehicle’s cooling system plays a vital role in maintaining the health of your engine. It prevents overheating, reduces wear and tear, and ensures your engine operates efficiently under all conditions.

If your engine is running hotter than usual, leaking coolant, or the temperature gauge is rising unexpectedly — don’t ignore it. Cooling system issues, if left unresolved, can quickly escalate into costly engine damage.
Every time you drive, your engine produces intense heat through combustion. The radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, and coolant fluid all work together to manage that heat and maintain a safe operating temperature. When any part of the cooling system fails — whether it’s a leaking hose, clogged radiator, or broken thermostat — the engine can overheat. This can lead to warped cylinder heads, blown head gaskets, and even total engine failure.

The radiator and cooling system regulate your engine’s temperature, preventing it from overheating. Coolant circulates through the engine, absorbs heat, and passes through the radiator where it cools before returning. This system also includes hoses, the thermostat, water pump, and cooling fans—all working together to keep your engine operating safely and efficiently.
Warning signs include engine overheating, coolant leaks under the car, low coolant levels, steam from under the bonnet, and a sweet smell from the engine bay. You may also see the temperature gauge rising unusually. Ignoring these signs can lead to severe engine damage, so it’s best to get your system checked immediately.
Common causes include coolant leaks, clogged radiator cores, damaged hoses, a faulty thermostat, broken water pump, or low-quality coolant. Over time, corrosion and scale buildup can also affect performance. Regular maintenance and coolant flushes help prevent these issues and extend the life of your cooling system.
Most manufacturers recommend flushing and replacing coolant every 2 to 5 years, depending on vehicle type and coolant used. However, if your vehicle is older or has high mileage, more frequent checks are wise. At Carline Automotive & Exhaust Cranbourne, we inspect the entire cooling system during regular services to catch issues early.
