Old, acidic coolant corroding heater cores and radiator passages
Electric radiator cooling fan motor, relay, or fan clutch failing in stop-and-go traffic

Auto Cooling System Tips for Scarborough Drivers

Never open a hot radiator cap or pressurized expansion tank; scalding coolant will spray out under pressure
Test your antifreeze freeze-point protection (-40°C minimum) before every Canadian winter
Do not mix different coolant formulations (such as green IAT, orange Dex-Cool, or Asian pink/blue OAT); use the exact spec for your vehicle
If the temperature gauge spikes while driving, turn the AC off, turn the cabin heater on full hot to pull heat off the engine, and pull over safely

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does radiator or water pump replacement cost in Scarborough? +
In Scarborough, a coolant flush costs $120 to $200, and a thermostat replacement runs $180 to $400. Radiator replacement typically costs $450 to $950, while water pump replacement ranges from $400 to $1,100 depending on whether it is belt-driven or driven by the timing belt/chain.
Why does my car overheat in traffic but cool down on the highway? +
When a car overheats at idle or in slow traffic but cools down once moving above 60 km/h, the electric radiator cooling fan (or fan relay/fuse) is usually not turning on to pull air through the radiator when stopped.
Can I top up low coolant with plain water? +
Only in a summer emergency to get off the road. Plain water freezes solid in Canadian winters, cracking the engine block and radiator, and boils at a lower temperature than a 50/50 antifreeze mixture.
How often should engine coolant be flushed? +
Most manufacturers recommend replacing long-life coolant every 5 years or 100,000 to 150,000 km, and every 2 to 3 years Thereafter. Fresh coolant prevents internal electrolysis that rots heater cores and head gaskets.
