When to get cooling system service
Your vehicle’s cooling system plays a vital role in managing engine heat. Recognizing when it needs professional attention is crucial. The cooling system circulates coolant through the engine and radiator to remove excess heat and prevent engine overheating and costly breakdowns.
Common cooling system problems:
- Engine temperature gauge rising higher than normal
- Coolant leaks (green, orange, or pink fluid under your vehicle)
- Steam coming from under the hood
- Sweet or syrupy smell while driving
- Visible rust or corrosion in the radiator
Regular cooling system maintenance for optimal performance
Regular maintenance of the cooling system is vital. We recommend a thorough inspection and servicing every 30,000 miles or as per your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines. During routine checks, we inspect:
- Coolant levels
- Radiator
- Thermostat
- Water pump
This proactive approach not only extends the lifespan of your vehicle but also enhances performance and fuel efficiency.
