Your vehicle cooling system keeps the engine cool and running properly. No matter what vehicle you have, a robust cooling system ensures proper engine temperature and prevents major damage. Late detection of cooling system problems will cost you money and risk engine damage.

What Happens During a Cooling System Repair?

Your engine faces major damage when your cooling system fails. Here are some signs that indicate your vehicle needs immediate cooling system inspection and repair:

  • Overheating Engine: You should check your engine temperature gauge because an engine overheating problem might develop from a broken cooling system if you see the needle enter the red zone or steam appears from under your hood.
  • Coolant Leaks: Bright green, orange, or pink puddles beneath your car show coolant is leaking and this can cause your engine to overheat.
  • Low Coolant Levels: Your engine needs inspection by a professional mechanic when you often need to refill coolant.
  • Heater Malfunction: A cabin heater issue points to cooling system blockages or trapped air pockets in your car.
  • Strange Noises: The cooling system makes gurgling or bubbling noises when air enters or a water pump breaks down.
