Understanding Your Car's Engine Cooling System Your car’s cooling system is essential for maintaining your engine’s temperature. It works by circulating a coolant mixture of water and antifreeze throughout the engine. This liquid absorbs excess heat and travels through the radiator, where it cools down with the help of airflow before returning to the engine. This cycle prevents overheating, ensuring your car operates smoothly and efficiently. Warning Signs of Cooling System Issues Monitoring your car’s cooling system is crucial. Watch for these potential issues: Temperature Gauge Alert: An unusually high reading on your temperature gauge may suggest a problem with the cooling system. Coolant Leaks: If you notice puddles of coolant under your vehicle or frequently low coolant levels, it could mean there’s a leak. Overheating: Repeated engine overheating can cause serious damage if not resolved quickly. Steam or Odour from the Bonnet: Steam or a strange smell from the bonnet could indicate that your engine is overheating. Risks of Engine Overheating An overheating engine can result in significant damage to your car. If the engine temperature surpasses safe limits, you might face: Warped Cylinder Heads: Excess heat can deform metal components, leading to costly repairs. Blown Head Gaskets: Overheating may damage gaskets, causing leaks of coolant or oil. Cracked Engine Block: In extreme cases, the engine block can crack due to excessive heat. Impact of Cold Weather Cold weather can also challenge your engine’s cooling system. If the coolant isn’t properly balanced, it could freeze, creating blockages and reducing efficiency. That’s where MD Auto Care in Golden Square can help. Our professionals will assess and adjust your coolant levels, ensuring your vehicle is prepared for colder months. Why Choose MD Auto Care?

Your Radiator and Cooling System is the Air Conditioner for your Engine

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

MD Auto Care - Our expertise & knowledge

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. MD Auto Care in Golden Square are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At MD Auto Care in Golden Square at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
