Coolant System Pressure Test

Pressure is vital for your coolant system because it ensures fluids maintain contact with the engine and cylinders, preventing your radiator from boiling over. If your car is running hot or there is a suspected coolant leak, this test may be recommended.

Frequently Asked Coolant Questions

A coolant system pressure test takes about half an hour, but all Roda service appointments come with a comprehensive safety inspection to ensure that if we’re conducting a test, it’s related to the correct issue and we’re recommending the best interventions to you for the core coolant system problem (if one exists.) 

Leaks in a thermostat housing may lead to excess pressure and overheating within the coolant system. 

Overheating in the coolant system raises the boiling point of fluids in the engine, causing overflow. Typical overheating may be the result of an underlying issue like a cracked cylinder head, corrosion in the radiator, or a blown head gasket. Getting coolant pressure under control and an early diagnosis can be key to preventing larger repairs and engine problems. 

A leak in the system is likely the cause of too low pressure, or it can indicate a need to replace your water pump or thermostat.
