Radiator Servicing

Nothing in your engine bay thrives on heat, which is why just about every vehicle you see on the roads relies on a liquid being pumped around the engine bay to keep things cool.

While air-cooled engines still exist in some motorbikes and equipment with smaller engines, liquid cooling systems are found in all modern roadgoing vehicles.

Engine cooling systems are pretty simple systems but can cause catastrophic damage if they’re not serviced and maintained.

It’s important not to check your radiator cap when your engine is hot. Burns and scarring are common injuries sustained from exposure to hot engine coolant.

Symptoms of a failing radiator and cooling system:

• An overheating engine
• Check Engine Lights
• Coolant spilt on the ground where your vehicle was parked
• Coolant reservoir level fluctuating
• White residue around radiator cap and coolant overflow tank
• Collapsed or swollen radiator hoses
• Oily residue under the radiator cap
