Common questions
Useful answers.
Can I drive with a coolant leak?+
A small leak can become a major loss without warning. If the level is dropping, temperature rises, steam appears or you cannot identify and safely fix the cause, recovery is safer than continuing.
Should I open the coolant cap while the engine is hot?+
No. A hot cooling system can be pressurised and cause serious burns. Allow the vehicle to cool and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Can you recover an overheating car?+
Yes, subject to live availability and vehicle access. Tell dispatch whether the vehicle still rolls and steers and whether any fluid is leaking.
