The coolant fluid, also known as the anti-freeze or radiator fluid, keeps the engine warm during winter and cool during summer. If your vehicle requires a coolant exchange or if you want to get a routine inspection of the fluid, you are welcome to bring your vehicle to our service center at Southern Volkswagen Greenbrier. Our location in Chesapeake, VA, is only a short drive from North Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk. Here is more information about the coolant fluid exchange service at Southern Volkswagen Greenbrier.
Your vehicle’s cooling system circulates the coolant through the radiator and engine to regulate the temperature under the hood. It also helps lubricate the water pump and protect against corrosion. If the engine gets too hot, it can damage itself. Similarly, if you try to start the engine in extremely cold weather, it can cause internal damage to the engine. Having correctly maintained coolant fluid can help maximize the performance and longevity of the cooling system and the engine
At Southern Volkswagen Greenbrier, we recommend following vehicle manufacturer recommendations for all auto services unless your vehicle has unique driving conditions or damaged components. The same goes for engine coolant fluid exchange service. You can find manufacturer recommendations in the user manual of your vehicle. At Southern Volkswagen Greenbrier, our technicians are most familiar with auto services for Volkswagen models and will be glad to guide you on service intervals for different types of auto services. We also have experience servicing other makes and models at Southern Volkswagen Greenbrier.
The engine operates at high internal temperatures. If the heat generated by the engine is not removed, it can cause severe issues with the engine. Cooling system failure or malfunction is one of the top reasons for roadside breakdown. Ideally, you want to have a regular cooling system inspection to ensure it does not malfunction or break down. You should watch for unusual readings on the temperature gauge, coolant leak, decreased gas mileage, unusual smell, or cooling system warning indicators on the dashboard.
Don’t let negligence cause serious harm to your vehicle. Allow our expert technicians to inspect your vehicle’s cooling system, including the coolant fluid. To book a certified service at Southern Volkswagen Greenbrier, you can call us or use our website to schedule an appointment. We offer Saturday service hours and extended hours on weekdays.
