The cooling system keeps your engine at the right temperature. Coolant circulates through the engine and radiator, driven by the water pump and regulated by the thermostat. In a Northern Cape summer, with temperatures well above 40°C, a weak cooling system can quickly lead to overheating and expensive engine damage. Our business actually started as Upington Radiators in 1960, so cooling is in our blood.
Signs of cooling system problems
- Temperature gauge rising above normal
- Steam from the engine bay
- Coolant puddles under the vehicle or a sweet smell
- Coolant level dropping regularly
- Heater blowing cold air
- Cracked, swollen or soft radiator hoses
