- Electrical repairs, such as fans, temperature sensors & computer modules
Rapid advancements have been made in the cooling systems used in today's vehicles. However, despite technological advances, the principles of the cooling system remain the same. They use liquid that flows through the radiator to remove heat from the engine and other components. This liquid is called coolant and is responsible for preventing corrosion in the system.
It’s recommended that the coolant be changed at specified intervals. Because different manufacturers use different colours to differentiate between formulas, it’s critical not to mix coolants. Using and replacing the correct liquid in your cooling system at the correct intervals helps prevent the engine from overheating. The rubber components in the cooling system also have a life span and will eventually require replacing, even when the coolant is replaced as recommended.

Complete Cooling System Care
A reliable cooling system is essential to prevent engine overheating, maintain fuel efficiency and avoid costly repairs. At Mechanical World, we go beyond the basics to make sure every component works together under pressure — especially in harsh Aussie conditions.
We thoroughly inspect radiators, hoses, thermostats, fans and water pumps for signs of wear, leaks or inefficiency. If we find low coolant levels or discolouration, we’ll flush the system and refill it with the correct formula for your vehicle. Our pressure testing helps detect hidden leaks, while temperature checks ensure the engine stays within safe operating limits. It’s all part of helping you drive with confidence, no matter the season..
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I flush my radiator coolant?
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 2 to 5 years or 40,000 to 100,000 kilometres, depending on the vehicle. Regular flushing removes contaminants, prevents corrosion and keeps your cooling system functioning efficiently. Always follow your vehicle’s service schedule for best results.
What are signs of a failing cooling system?
Watch for engine overheating, coolant leaks, steam from the bonnet, temperature gauge spikes or a sweet smell from the engine bay. These symptoms could indicate issues with your radiator, water pump, thermostat or hoses. Prompt inspection helps avoid major damage or engine failure.
Can I mix different types of coolant?
No, mixing coolant types can reduce effectiveness and cause chemical reactions that damage your system. Always use the manufacturer-recommended coolant and never top up with a different type. Using the wrong coolant can lead to corrosion, blockages and cooling system failure over time.
