Engine temperature and coolant

Investigating a cooling problem

The engine cooling system helps control operating temperature. A warning, repeated coolant loss or visible leak needs investigation; topping up alone does not establish or repair the cause.

Overheating or temperature warnings

A high-temperature warning can have different causes. Tell us what the display showed, when it happened and whether there was steam or coolant loss. Do not deliberately run the engine to reproduce overheating.

Coolant leaks and loss

Report how often coolant has needed topping up and any visible signs around or beneath the vehicle. The source may not be obvious from where fluid appears, and an inspection is needed before identifying a repair.

Radiator, thermostat and water-pump concerns

Cooling systems differ between vehicles. Fault finding considers the reported symptoms and the system’s condition rather than assuming that one component must be replaced.

Radiator-related problems

The radiator is part of the engine’s cooling system. Leakage or a problem with heat transfer can be relevant to a cooling concern, but inspection is needed to establish the source and appropriate next step.

Thermostat and water-pump concerns

Coolant flow and temperature regulation involve several components, including the thermostat and water pump. Similar symptoms can arise from different faults, so a temperature warning alone does not identify either part as the cause.

This service concerns engine cooling. Cabin air-conditioning is a separate system and is not included in the service described here.

If the vehicle overheats

Stop safely and seek advice

Do not continue driving with an overheating engine. Stop somewhere safe, follow the instructions in your vehicle handbook and allow the engine to cool naturally. Keep clear of steam and hot coolant.

Do not treat a refill as proof that the problem is resolved. Any coolant checks or topping up should follow the handbook, with the system cold and the correct coolant for the vehicle.

Arrange an inspection or quotation

Call with your registration, temperature warnings, coolant-loss history and any recent repairs. Inspection may be needed before the work and cost can be confirmed.

For cooling system repairs or a quotation, please telephone first. Online booking shows the available appointment options. The booking page’s 24-hour notice for parts is not a reason to delay getting help with overheating.

Your questions

Cooling Systems FAQs

Can I drive if the engine is overheating?

Do not continue driving an overheating vehicle. Stop safely, follow the handbook and arrange roadside assistance or recovery if needed. Continuing can make damage worse.

Will topping up coolant solve a leak?

A refill does not repair a leak or establish why coolant was lost. Seek advice about repeated loss. Follow the handbook for checks and the correct coolant, and never open the system while it is hot.

Does overheating mean I need a new radiator?

Not necessarily. The radiator is one part of the system, and overheating can have several causes. Inspection and fault finding are needed before a component or repair can be identified.

Does this include air-conditioning repairs?

No. This page describes engine cooling system inspections and repairs. It does not include cabin air-conditioning repairs. Contact us to discuss any separate requirements.
