Cooling System Service & Repairs in Townsville

Keeping Your Engine Cool

A fully functional and efficient cooling system circulates coolant to reduce heat around your engine and is essential in preventing overheating, especially in Townsville’s warmer months.

Don't be that car, stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the hood. At Boundary Street Automotive, we understand the importance of a well-maintained cooling system. In Australia, car engine cooling system failures rank among the top three causes of roadside breakdowns, with radiator failures accounting for a large percentage of these.

Townsville Mechanic Replacing Radiator

How often does a Cooling System Service need to be undertaken?

Regular cooling system servicing is crucial to keeping your engine running smoothly. Ideally, this service should be performed every two years or according to your vehicle's Logbook maintenance schedule. Over time, the additives in engine coolant can degrade, reducing its effectiveness in preventing freezing, boiling, and internal rust or corrosion. To ensure the maximum benefit from these additives, it's important to replace the entire coolant mixture regularly

Signs your Cooling System has problems.

Detecting radiator and cooling issues early is vital in avoiding costly vehicle breakdowns. Look for the following signs:

  • Coolant leaks or puddles of coolant under your car
  • Frequent need to top off the coolant level in the reservoir
  • Temperature gauge indicating high coolant temperature in slow traffic
  • A sweetish, "hot water" smell coming from the vehicle’s engine
  • Visible steam coming from under the bonnet

If you experience any of these symptoms, you need your cooling system inspected at our Townsville workshop.

What’s involved in a Cooling System Service

A cooling system service involves a thorough inspection and maintenance of your vehicle's cooling components. This can include:

  • Radiator replacement and repair
  • Radiator flush
  • Radiator cap replacement
  • Coolant replacement
  • Cooling system check
  • Thermostat replacement
  • Water pump replacement
  • Radiator hose replacement

Poor cooling system maintenance can lead to severe consequences, such as engine overheating and damage. Over time, cooling system components can deteriorate, resulting in leaks and reduced efficiency. The cost of repairing or replacing a damaged engine far exceeds the expense of routine cooling system maintenance.
