Finding a good mechanic that does a cooling system repairs in Canberra is not easy. An engine can overheat whenever it operates in sweltering weather. However, the risk of overheating goes up considerably if the radiator is low on coolant or there is a leak in one of its hoses. Other possible radiator failures include a malfunctioning thermostat, a mechanical issue with the fan. Or a faulty pressure cap cannot pressurize the system in which result in an overflow of coolant.

- Water pump failures: If a water pump fails, it will not be able to circulate coolant through the engine block. It results in an overheating situation. Furthermore, It causes additional engine damage like cracked cylinder heads, pushed head gaskets, or burnt pistons.
- Leak radiator hoses: A hose leak will usually send a stream of hot coolant spraying out of the hose. A corroded hose connection or a loose or damaged hose clamp may also cause coolant to leak from the end of a hose. However, sometimes the leak may only occur once the hose gets hot and the pinhole or crack opens up.
- Leak radiators: The leading and most common cause is corrosion in the radiator. Radiators, hoses, and hose connections collect sediment and rust that over time can punch holes in the radiator. In a few instances, weak coolant can be the cause of overheating.
- Thermostat failures: If the thermostat becomes stuck in the open position, as a result, the continuous flow of coolant into the radiator causing the engine to run cold. The overcooled engines run inefficiently, which leads to increased fuel consumption and higher emission levels and engine parts enduring more wear.
- Head Gasket failure: If a head gasket has failed between the waterway or oilway and the outside of the engine, the result can be a simple coolant or oil leak.
This may not manifest itself as an immediate problem (other than causing a mess) but if the coolant or oil levels are allowed to drop too far it can lead to serious engine issues.
A failed head gasket can allow combustion gasses into the coolant passages, which may pressurize the coolant system, and cause an external coolant leak from any weak spot in the system. It’s quite possible that the coolant leak may only be noticeable once the engine is up to normal working temperature.
To help diagnose a failed head gasket, special test equipment is available which can ‘sniff’ for exhaust gasses in the coolant.
