Recent Cooling System Repair Cases
Real onsite cooling system repairs completed by our Canberra mobile mechanics.
Radiator Replacement
2015 Touareg 3.0 V6 – Radiator Replacement in Coombs
This 2015 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 V6 in Coombs was found to have a leaking radiator during servicing. We completed the radiator replacement onsite together with the service on the same day.
It was a more complex job due to the front-end layout, but the repair was completed properly without the customer needing to arrange towing or a workshop visit.
Water Pump Diagnosis
Subaru – Rusted Water Pump and Flow Issue in Gungahlin
This Subaru in Gungahlin originally came in with an overheating problem. After diagnosis, we traced the issue back to poor coolant flow and a badly rusted water pump.
Once the fault was identified, the cooling system issue could be repaired properly instead of only topping up coolant and guessing at the cause.
Water Pump Replacement
Toyota Hiace – Leaking Water Pump Replacement
This Toyota Hiace needed a water pump replacement after the pump started leaking coolant. A leaking pump can quickly lead to low coolant level and overheating if left too long.
We replaced the faulty water pump and restored the cooling system so the vehicle could return to reliable daily use.
