Overheating and coolant leaks
An overheating engine or coolant leak can quickly become a major repair if the vehicle continues to be driven. We inspect the visible cooling system, assess the symptoms and recommend the appropriate next step at your location.
Diagnosis before repair
Low coolant can be caused by a leaking hose, radiator, housing, cap or another cooling-system component. Overheating may also involve circulation, thermostat, fan or engine problems. The correct repair depends on finding the source.
Mobile assessment may include checking coolant level and condition when safe, inspecting visible leaks, hoses and connections, and evaluating the information provided about temperature changes and warning messages.
Many external cooling-system components can be repaired at a suitable location. If the symptoms suggest internal engine damage or testing that requires workshop equipment, we explain that before further work.
Never remove a radiator or coolant cap from a hot engine. If the temperature rises or steam appears, stop safely, switch the engine off and allow it to cool.
