Radiator & Cooling System Service: Protecting Your Engine from Overheating
The cooling system is critical to your engine’s survival. Without proper cooling, your engine can quickly overheat, leading to catastrophic and extremely expensive damage, such as a blown head gasket or a cracked block. Don’t wait for your temperature gauge to climb into the red!
The Best Defence Against Engine Failure
At GAM Mechanic Solutions in Cheltenham, we specialize in the complete inspection, maintenance, and repair of all radiator and cooling system components. We ensure your engine runs at its optimal temperature, no matter the Melbourne heat.
Pressure Testing Diagnosis
We pressure test your radiator, hoses, and overflow tank to accurately locate hidden leaks that often lead to low coolant levels.
Radiator Inspection & Repair/Replacement
Checking the radiator for clogs, corrosion, or damage. We provide expert repair or replacement with quality components if necessary.
Coolant Flush & Exchange
Old coolant loses its anti-corrosion and anti-freeze properties. We perform a complete coolant flush, removing old fluid and replacing it with the correct, recommended coolant for your vehicle’s make and model.
Component Checks
Thorough inspection of the water pump, thermostat, radiator fan, and all connecting hoses to ensure proper circulation and temperature regulation.
Head Gasket Integrity Check
We can perform simple tests to check for exhaust gases in the coolant, which would indicate an internal engine leak (like a failing head gasket).
Signs Your Cooling System Needs Attention
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an inspection immediately to prevent permanent engine damage:
| Warning Sign | What it Means |
| Engine Overheating | The temperature gauge is constantly near the red zone or overheating during city driving. Stop driving immediately! |
| Visible Leaks | Puddles of coloured fluid (green, pink, or orange) under the car, or a visible stream of steam from under the bonnet. |
| Sweet Odour | A noticeable sweet smell coming from your engine bay, which is the scent of leaking coolant. |
| Heater Malfunction | Your car’s heater is blowing cold air while the engine is hot—often a sign of low coolant or a faulty thermostat. |
