Warning Signs to Watch For
Overheating can cause serious engine damage. Watch for these symptoms.
Overheating
If your temperature gauge creeps into the red, pull over immediately. Continued driving risks head gasket failure.
Coolant Leak
Green, orange, or pink puddles under your car indicate a coolant leak from hoses, the radiator, or water pump.
High Temp Gauge
A gauge reading higher than normal, even if not in the red, means the cooling system isn't working efficiently.
Sweet Smell
A sweet, syrupy smell inside or outside the car is a telltale sign of leaking antifreeze.
Steam from Bonnet
Visible steam or smoke from under the bonnet means your engine is dangerously hot. Stop driving immediately.
Low Coolant Warning
If your coolant level keeps dropping, there's a leak somewhere in the system that needs finding and fixing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my coolant? expand_more
Most manufacturers recommend changing coolant every 2 to 5 years, or around 30,000 miles. Over time, coolant loses its anti-corrosion properties and can cause internal damage to the engine and radiator.
Can I just top up the coolant myself? expand_more
Topping up is fine as a temporary measure, but if you're regularly losing coolant, there's a leak that needs professional diagnosis. Using the wrong type of coolant can also cause internal corrosion, so it's best to let us check.
What happens if I keep driving with an overheating engine? expand_more
Continuing to drive can cause a blown head gasket, warped cylinder head, or seized engine — all of which are extremely expensive to repair. If your temperature gauge is in the red, stop as soon as it's safe and call us.
