The Crucial Role of Vehicle Cooling Systems and the Importance of Regular Checks

The cooling system is a critical component of a vehicle's functioning, essentially maintaining the health and lifespan of the car. Without a properly functioning cooling system, the vehicle's engine could overheat, causing severe damage.

So what is the cooling system, and how does it work? How often should it be checked? At Gejay Automotive we specialise in cooling systems, and we have the answers you need.

Firstly, the cooling system in your vehicle operates to maintain an optimal engine temperature by circulating a mixture of water and coolant through the engine. It also prevents the engine from freezing during the harsh winter months. Without it, an engine can quickly become a victim of heat-related problems. In worst-case scenarios, the whole engine can melt, costing you thousands of dollars in repairs.

One might assume that cooling system maintenance can be skipped over, but professionals will strongly discourage this approach. A small problem left unnoticed can quickly escalate, leading to massive damage to your engine and hefty repair bills. This is why emphasises the importance of regular checks by professional mechanics.

Regular cooling system maintenance involves various tasks such as checking and changing coolant fluids, inspecting for leaks, and assessing the performance of the radiator, water pump, thermostat and cooling fans. Such in-depth maintenance ensures your vehicle runs at its optimum performance level.

The warning signs indicating that your vehicle’s cooling system might not be functioning properly include your car overheating, sweet-smelling coolant, low coolant level, or an unusually high gauge temperature. Don't ignore these symptoms; contact your professional mechanic right away.
