One of the most common service advisories we see here at Service 4 Service is a coolant change. This is especially important leading into winter as the lack of appropriate coolant can cause severe and terminal engine damage.<\/p>\n

Many people think that as long as the radiator is full of water then all is good. Well unfortunately no. Water has a limited range of temperature variation from frozen (solid state) at 0\u00b0C through to boiling (vapour state) at 100\u00b0c. The general operating temperature of an engine is around 90\u00b0C so there is only really 10% safety net before the coolant boils and the engine overheats. Water also causes long term corrosion of the coolant galleries, especially on vehicles with an iron engine block.<\/p>\n

When the engine<\/a> overheats it can, and often does, cause terminal damage. Heads can warp, head gaskets fail, and far worse. This is not something you want to take a risk with. We\u2019ve had a lot of head gasket failures this summer and it\u2019s had a lot to do with the heatwave the UK experienced this summer.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s almost worse is that when water freezes it expands by approximately 9%. When this happens in the coolant galleries there is literally nowhere for it to go and it can, and does, crack the coolant galleries, just like a burst pipe in your house. If this happens, it\u2019s new engine time\u2026<\/p>\n

A proper Anti-Freeze has varying operating ranges but generally speaking the range is from -20\u00b0C to 130\u00b0C which means it will never freeze in the UK and if it gets too warm it still won\u2019t boil over. Most racing cars use a 100% antifreeze coolant as operating temperatures are often well over 100\u00b0C for long periods of time.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t include a coolant change in every service as more often than not it isn\u2019t needed, however \u2013 if we are advising a coolant change it\u2019s for good reason!<\/p>\n
