Coolant flush in North Parramatta
A coolant flush at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, drains the old coolant, flushes the system and refills it with the type your maker specifies, quoted for your car before we start. Coolant carries the additives that stop corrosion, and they wear out with age.
Coolant does two jobs: it carries heat away from the engine, and its additives stop the radiator, water pump and engine corroding inside. The additives are used up over time.
More detail
Makers set a replacement interval, often a long first one and shorter ones after. Your logbook has the figure. Coolant types do not mix well, so the refill is the type your maker specifies.
After the refill the system is bled of air and run up to temperature, because an air pocket can make a healthy engine run hot.

How it works
Checked first
The coolant's condition and level are checked and the system looked over for leaks, so a flush is not sold to a car that needs a repair.
Drained, flushed, refilled
Old coolant drained, the system flushed, and refilled with the type and mix your maker specifies.
Bled and run to temperature
Air bled out, the engine run to temperature and the fans watched, then the level set.

How much does a coolant flush cost?
It depends on how much coolant your car holds and the type it takes. We give you the figure before we start. It can be done on its own or with a service in the same visit.
How often should coolant be changed?
Follow your logbook. Many modern cars run a long-life coolant with a long first interval and shorter ones after that. If there is no record, we test its condition and tell you.
Will a coolant flush fix overheating?
Not usually. Overheating is a fault: a leak, a thermostat, a fan or a pump. We find the cause first, so you do not pay for a flush that changes nothing.
Can I just top it up with water?
In an emergency, to get home. Water dilutes the additives and lowers the boiling point, so have the mix checked and corrected afterwards.
What are the signs coolant needs changing?
- The logbook says it is due
- Rusty or brown coolant in the overflow bottle
- Sludge or scale under the radiator cap
- No record of it ever being changed
- The heater blows cooler than it used to
- The wrong coolant has been topped up
