VW Audi Group Coolant Repairs - Melksham

A coolant leak, overheating warning, or low coolant light usually means there’s an issue with your cooling system, and it’s worth having checked before you drive any further.

At Audi VW Centre, we diagnose and repair coolant system faults across all makes and models, helping to prevent more serious engine damage down the line.

Signs you might have a coolant issue

You may not always see a warning light straight away. Common signs include:

A sweet smell coming from the engine bay.
Coolant pooling underneath your car after it’s been parked.
The temperature gauge climbing higher than usual.
Steam or vapour coming from under the bonnet.
The heater blowing cold air unexpectedly.

Driving with a coolant leak

We’d recommend having it looked at as soon as possible, as driving with low coolant, or a leak that’s getting worse, can cause the engine to overheat, which may lead to far more expensive damage than the original fault.

What causes coolant leaks

Coolant leaks can develop for several reasons, including a cracked or perished hose, a faulty radiator, a failing water pump, or a worn head gasket, and each of these needs a different repair, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters more than guesswork.

Our technique

Our technicians use pressure testing and visual inspection to trace exactly where a leak is coming from, rather than replacing parts on a trial-and-error basis. Once we’ve found the cause, we’ll explain what’s needed and give you a clear quote before any work begins.

We carry out coolant system repairs using quality parts suited to your vehicle, and we top up and bleed the system properly afterwards to make sure it’s working as it should.
