Signs You Need Cooling System Service
A malfunctioning cooling system can lead to major engine issues, so it's important to watch for signs that your vehicle may need attention.
Look out for:
- Overheating Engine: If your engine temperature gauge is frequently in the red or the engine feels hotter than usual, it may be a sign that your cooling system isn't working effectively.
- Low Coolant Levels: If you notice coolant leakage or if your car is losing coolant quickly, there may be a leak in your radiator or hoses.
- Coolant Discoloration or Smell: If your coolant looks rusty or you notice a sweet, syrupy smell coming from under the hood, it could indicate a serious issue with the cooling system.
- Steam or Smoke from the Engine: This is a clear warning that your engine is overheating. It's time to bring your vehicle in for a diagnostic check to avoid permanent engine damage.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's essential to act quickly to prevent more expensive and serious repairs down the road.
