A good read, head on down to Motorwise for your free cooling system evaluation for peace of mind! Contact us today on 066 063 1488 or 021 551 9219

Overheating isn’t only a “mid-summer, middle-of-nowhere” problem. It can happen in traffic, on a school run, or while you’re idling with the aircon on. If your temperature needle climbs, your goal isn’t to “push through”. Your goal is to stop safely and avoid damage.

A few cooling system myths that cause trouble

Myth: Coolant is optional.
Coolant isn’t just coloured water. It helps with heat control and protects the system from corrosion. If you’re topping up often, something’s not right.

Myth: No puddle means no leak.
Small leaks can burn off on a hot engine. You might only notice the level dropping over time.

Myth: Overheating only happens on long trips.
Traffic and slow driving can be worse because there’s less airflow through the radiator.

Signs to take seriously
🌡️ The temperature needle creeping higher than normal
🌡️ A sweet smell (often coolant)
🌡️ Steam from the front of the car
🌡️ Coolant level dropping between checks

If the temperature climbs while you’re driving:

⚠️ Pull over somewhere safe as soon as you can and switch the engine off. Let it cool properly. 🚨 And don’t open the coolant cap while it’s hot. The system is pressurised and it can spray boiling coolant.

⚠️ If you’re stuck and it’s an emergency, water can help you get off the road, but it’s not the long-term answer. If you can, keep a bottle of the correct premixed coolant in the car and have the system checked if the level keeps dropping.

🤔 Quick question: when last did you check your coolant level? Be honest.

Before your next drive, take 60 seconds to check your coolant level (when the engine is cold). If it’s dropping, don’t ignore it. That’s your early warning.

Most cars on South African roads are now over 10 years old. That usually means no warranty, tighter budgets, and a lot of trust placed in the workshop you choose. And when something goes wrong, it’s rarely because a workshop set out to do the wrong thing. More often, it comes down to miscommunication. A misunderstanding about the job, the cost, or the outcome.

That’s why MIWA keeps coming back to one simple piece of advice. Talk to the workshop first. Give them a fair chance to sort it out. In most cases, that resolves the issue.

But 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 you take your car 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 matters.

When you use an RMI-approved, MIWA-accredited workshop, you’re choosing a business that has committed to clear standards around ethics, professionalism, and accountability.

If you want to protect yourself as a motorist, here’s what actually helps:
• Take your vehicle to an RMI-approved, MIWA-accredited workshop
• Look for MIWA and RMI certificates displayed on the premises
• Scan the QR code on the certificate to confirm it’s still valid
• If there’s a concern, raise it directly with the workshop
• If it’s still unresolved, escalate it through the Retail Motor Industry Organisation - RMI

What this really means is that you’re not left guessing. More than 94% of disputes handled through the RMI are resolved successfully.

Your car is often the second most valuable thing you own, after your home. Taking a minute to check a workshop’s accreditation is one of the simplest ways to protect that investment.
