Frequently asked questions about Vauxhall cooling system inspection, repair & replacements
Read our answers to questions about cooling system inspection, repair & replacement costs, symptoms and more.
How do you know there is something wrong with the Vauxhall cooling system?
- When you can see smoke coming from your engine
- When you smell the vapour of the coolant fluid
- When you hear cranking sounds
- When you feel the engine heating up
- When the check engine light comes on
What are common problems with the engine cooling system in Vauxhall?
Here are the common problems with a cooling system:
••Low coolant**
A leak in the system will drip away reserves of coolant. Less coolant means the cooling system will be working harder and the engine will eventually overheat.
*Failed thermostat
A faulty thermostat will block the flow of coolant to your engine. The lack of coolant will suddenly overheat your engine.
Worn Water pump
A worn water pump or an issue with the motor system will mean the coolant isn’t properly flowing through the engine. Your pump will be less efficient or broken altogether which will lead to your engine overheating.
Clogged radiator
A radiator can become clogged by poor quality coolant, which doesn’t lubricate the system properly. It will mean there is less coolant and that coolant will have a harder time getting through the system. It will have a gradual noticeable effect on your MPG but otherwise, be hard to diagnose.
Faulty radiator fan
A faulty radiator fan means that air can’t flow along the fins of a radiator, taking heat away from the coolant as it passes through the radiator. This means that both the air and coolant become increasingly hot.
Fault cooling system pressure cap
A broken pressure cap will not retain the pressure on the entire cooling system. This means that steam can vent out and will rapidly reduce the efficiency of the cooling system leading to an engine overheat.

cats were roaming around the garage the manager was very polite upon arrival, offering helpful guidance, and did not overcharge me, communication during the actual repair was minimal.
Despite booking in advance, the thermostat had not been delivered because the garage was closed earlier; however whilst tyres were being swapped the manager swiftly collected the part required.
I arrived around 9:50 AM leaving just before 13:00. Additionally, the specific tyres selected on ClickMechanic were unfortunately unavailable, though they showed me an alternative budget tyre for approval before fitting.
As a goodwill gesture for driving there, they also included a free diagnostic scan (normally £70). The staff were honest and pleasant.
Overall this garage did a great job and ensured everything was working well before I left.
Would I recommend Kwik Valet solutions ? … yes based on the competitive pricing and the job being completed as swiftly as one mechanic juggling multiple jobs allowed for this.”
