Is your car cool enough?

You've probably heard of car cooling systems but you may be scratching your head wondering what exactly they are and why they're so essential. Let's spill the beans, shall we?

The cooling system in your vehicle isn't there to crank up your AC on a hot summer day; instead, it prevents your car engine from overheating. This network of passages allows coolant (a heat-absorbing fluid) to circulate and remove heat from the engine, essentially preventing it from becoming a boiling kettle. This explains why a dysfunctional cooling system can lead to some pretty serious and expensive engine damage.

Regular checks of your cooling system are paramount, so don’t treat them like an unwanted step-cousin at the family reunion. Consistent attention to your cooling system is the easiest way to keep your car in a peachy keen state, rather than in the back lot of some mechanic’s shop. It's critical to seek the aid of skilled professionals when conducting these inspections; otherwise, you might overlook a looming problem, just as we ignore those overdue dish-washing duties

How do I know my cooling system needs attention

So, how would you know if your vehicle's cooling system isn't doing the cha-cha slide correctly? Common red flags include overheating, low coolant levels, sweet-smelling, steamy vapour leaking from under the bonnet, or perhaps a generously warm heater not quite living up to your heating desires. These signs are like those cringy posts we make on social media: hard to ignore and asking for your attention!
