Keeping your car in good health
Your radiator and cooling system are essential for keeping your engine from overheating. The engine generates a lot of heat while running, and if it isn’t properly cooled, it can cause serious damage, including warping or cracking the engine block, damaging seals, or causing the engine to seize. The radiator, along with other components like the water pump and thermostat, helps circulate coolant through the engine to absorb and release heat, maintaining the proper operating temperature.
If your cooling system isn’t working well, it can lead to overheating, which may cause your engine to run inefficiently or even break down. Overheating can result in costly repairs, such as replacing a blown head gasket or repairing warped engine parts. Even if your car doesn’t overheat immediately, a malfunctioning cooling system can lead to reduced engine performance and fuel efficiency over time.
Regularly checking your radiator and cooling system—ensuring that the coolant is at the right level, the hoses are in good condition, and the radiator is free from blockages—can prevent these issues and extend the life of your engine. It’s always a good idea to address any signs of overheating, coolant leaks, or unusual engine temperatures right away to avoid more serious and expensive problems down the line.

Mark and the team at One Call have looked after my 12 year old Subaru WRX for 5 years now. The service has been great and my car gives me less problems. We recently did a major service (new head gasket etc) and the car is performing at its peak, so much power!. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions
Why is my car's temperature always getting high?
If your car’s temperature is always getting high, it likely means there’s an issue with the cooling system. This could be due to low coolant levels, which might happen if there’s a leak somewhere in the system.
A faulty thermostat could also be the problem, as it regulates coolant flow, and if it gets stuck, it can prevent proper cooling. The radiator itself may be clogged or leaking, reducing its ability to dissipate heat effectively, or the water pump might not be working, preventing coolant from circulating properly.
A broken or slipping drive belt, which powers the water pump, could also be at fault. Additionally, issues with the radiator fan, which helps cool the engine in low-speed conditions, could be contributing to the overheating.
If your car is consistently overheating, it’s important to get it checked out quickly to prevent serious engine damage.
What happens if I don't address radiator problems?
If you don’t address radiator problems, you risk causing severe damage to your engine. The radiator plays a vital role in keeping the engine cool by circulating coolant, and if it’s not functioning properly, your engine can overheat. Overheating can lead to a number of serious issues, such as a blown head gasket, warped engine components, or even complete engine failure.
Ignoring radiator issues like leaks, blockages, or a malfunctioning radiator fan means that your engine will struggle to regulate temperature, which can reduce its performance and efficiency. Over time, the added stress on the engine can cause it to wear out faster, and repairs will become more expensive.
If the engine overheats enough, it can cause the engine block to crack, resulting in a complete breakdown. Fixing a radiator problem early can save you from these costly and potentially catastrophic issues, protecting the long-term health of your car.
