Why Your Cooling System Deserves Attention
Western Australia’s conditions are no joke — long drives, hot weather, heavy towing, and off-road touring all push your cooling system to its limits.
Your radiator, water pump, thermostat, and coolant fluid all work together to keep your engine at the right temperature. When any of these components start to fail, you risk overheating, reduced performance, and serious engine damage.
That’s why M4C.au offers two key cooling system services: a Comprehensive Coolant System Inspection & Pressure Test and a Coolant Flush & Pressure Test.
1. Comprehensive Coolant System Inspection & Pressure Test
This diagnostic service checks your entire cooling system for leaks, blockages, or pressure loss. It’s ideal if you’ve noticed symptoms like:
- Engine running hotter than usual
- Coolant levels dropping
- Sweet smell under the bonnet
- Puddles or residue under the vehicle
During the inspection, our technicians:
- Visually inspect the radiator, hoses, and water pump
- Test the coolant condition and level
- Conduct a pressure test to check for leaks
- Identify early signs of corrosion or failure
It’s a smart first step before longer trips or if you’re buying a used vehicle and want peace of mind.
2. Coolant Flush & Pressure Test
If your coolant is due for replacement or showing signs of contamination, we recommend a Coolant Flush & Pressure Test.
This service removes old coolant, flushes out contaminants, and replaces it with fresh coolant to your vehicle’s exact specifications.
At M4C.au, our team will:
- Drain and safely dispose of old coolant
- Flush the system to remove rust, scale, and debris
- Refill with manufacturer-approved coolant
- Conduct a final pressure test to ensure everything is sealed and performing correctly
This process restores cooling efficiency, prevents internal corrosion, and helps your engine perform better in all conditions — especially under heavy loads or long drives in WA heat.
How Often Should You Service Your Cooling System?
Most vehicles benefit from a coolant flush every 2–4 years or 40,000–60,000 km, depending on usage and manufacturer recommendations.
If you’re towing, touring, or working your 4WD hard, you may need it more frequently. Our team can assess your setup and recommend the best maintenance interval for your needs.
