We've likely all seen that unfortunate soul stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the bonnet when the weather is hot.

But overheating cars aren't just caused by hot weather. The fact is that your engine gets hot, really hot, and it's the radiator and cooling system that helps keep your car, and you, from being affected by all that heat. Coolant is a task specific fluid added to the cooling system which helps prevent liquids from boiling over. It also assists in preventing fluids from freezing and has the added bonus that it protects the system from corrosion as well.

Over time rust and scale deposits can accumulate, leading to the whole system becoming essentially "choked" and less effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts of your cooling system, including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

If your dashboard shows your car is running hotter than normal, your vehicle is overheating or you are leaving puddles of coolant where ever you park it it is a pretty sure sign you might be due for a radiator flush. It is best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional, qualified mechanic such as Carrington Street Auto Repairs to ensure that everything is OK with your radiator, coolant and cooling system.
