Cooling System Inspection and Service

Graham West Workshops your local Adelaide mechanic since 1983 are proud to be an Australian owned and operated workshop servicing our local community, and offers expert cooling system servicing to keep your vehicle performing at its best. A well-maintained cooling system is crucial to the health of your vehicle, preventing overheating and costly repairs. Here’s what you can expect from our comprehensive service.

What Does Servicing a Cooling System Involve at Graham West Workshops?

Assessment of All Fans

The process begins with a thorough assessment of all fans. Ensuring that the fans are in good working condition is vital for maintaining the right temperature. Any issues with the fans can lead to insufficient cooling, which can cause the engine to overheat.

Pressure Evaluation of the Radiator and Cap

Next, we perform a pressure evaluation of the radiator and its cap. This step is essential to verify that the radiator is not leaking and that the cap is holding the correct pressure. Both factors are crucial in maintaining an efficient cooling system.

Check of Thermostat Function

The thermostat plays a pivotal role in regulating the engine’s temperature. At Graham West Workshops, we ensure your thermostat is functioning correctly, opening and closing as needed to keep the engine from overheating.

Visual Assessment of All Hoses and Belts

A visual assessment of all hoses and belts is conducted to identify any signs of wear and tear. Damaged hoses or belts can lead to leaks or breaks, causing the cooling system to fail. Our technicians will replace any compromised components to ensure reliability.

Visual Examination of All Component Operation

In addition to checking hoses and belts, we conduct a visual examination of all component operations. This comprehensive check helps us spot any anomalies early, preventing potential future failures in the cooling system.

Complete Drainage and Cleaning of the Cooling System

Over time, the cooling system can accumulate debris and old coolant, which can hinder its efficiency. At Graham West Workshops, we perform a complete drainage and cleaning of the system to remove any contaminants that could affect performance.

Replacement of the Coolant

Finally, the service is concluded with the replacement of the coolant. Fresh coolant ensures that your vehicle’s engine remains at the optimal temperature, protecting it from extreme heat or cold.

At Graham West Workshops, we pride ourselves on delivering thorough cooling system services that protect and enhance vehicle performance.
