What does Engine Coolant do?
Engine coolant is also known as antifreeze. It is a heat transfer fluid designed to remove excess heat from your engine. It prevents your engine from overheating in hot weather and freezing in extreme cold weather, conditions where things can go very wrong for an engine.
What is an Engine Coolant Flush?
An engine coolant (Antifreeze) flush involves forcing several litres of cleaner, water and new antifreeze through the system to get rid of all the old antifreeze and the contaminants that may have built up in it. Over time, your radiator coolant can cause radiator corrosion, generating rust, scaling or other debris that you do not want in your car’s radiator or engine. A coolant flush resolves this problem – it’s basically replacing the old coolant with new fresh coolant.
