Car Coolant Leak Repair in Dubai

Coolant is one of the most important fluids circulating in your engine. It helps the engine achieve its best working temperature. A coolant leak will destroy the heat balance and may even lead to a loss of your engine if not repaired promptly. Acting quickly at the first sign of a coolant leak is therefore priceless. If you require coolant leak repair in Dubai, we have experienced mechanics to provide you with their services and restore your car to its best operating condition.

Coolant, often referred to as antifreeze, is a specially formulated fluid that circulates through your engine and radiator. Its primary function is to absorb heat from the engine and dissipate it through the radiator, ensuring that the engine operates within a safe temperature range. Otherwise, your engine is literally ruined by warped cylinder heads, blown gaskets, etc.

Coolant also eliminates rust in the cooling system and engine and makes the essential parts rust-proof and guards them against wear and tear. Therefore, maintaining the right levels of coolant and ensuring there are no leaks is critical to your vehicle's health.

Symptoms of Coolant Leaks

Identification of the symptoms of coolant leakage at an early stage will avoid the future repair costs. Some frequent issues to keep an eye on are:

• Engine Overheating: The cooling system is a closed (pressurized) system. So, when there is a leak, it’s not working at its peak efficiency and the engine overheats. If your engine temperature gauge is elevated, this means you have a leak in your coolant. Overheating will greatly damage your engine, so this must be repaired immediately.
• Sweet Smell: Coolant has a distinct sweet odor. If you can smell this, then it will probably be leaking somewhere. This is generally from the engine bay area or inside the cabin.
• Puddles Under the Car: If you have had this problem for some time – quickly running out of coolant as it appears to be leaking, this is a clear symptom to get your car into the shop and have it repaired immediately. The coolant may be dripping from under the front passenger side. So, look out for green, orange, or pink puddles of liquid on the ground where your car has been parked. These are likely coolant leaks that have to be repaired.
• Low Coolant Level: Regularly checking your coolant tank and finding it low can signal a leak somewhere in the system. If you have to add coolant time and time again on a consistent basis, then it's time to consult the experts.
• Steam Under the Hood: Under-hood steam is a sign that your engine gets hotter and, as expected, has a coolant leak.

Our Coolant Leak Repair Process

When you bring your vehicle to our workshop in Dubai for coolant leak repair, we handle it with care using a professional process of repairing leaks in the best way. Here is a step-by-step overview of our repair process:

Diagnostics. First, we will try to find the leak visually or by pressure checks. Our mechanics will open the hood and inspect every section of the engine bay looking for a coolant hose dripping or maybe a thermostat seal or coolant temperature switch seal failing.We will also have to check the radiator and other components for any visible wear or damage. Then we will employ a cooling system pressure tester. This will find the small leaks that leak under pressure. In some cases, we utilize tracer dye. We put it in the system to trace for leaks using a black light.

Replacement or Repair. Based on the results of the diagnostics, we replace or repair the defective part. Some of the typical coolant leak repairs include:

• Hose Replacement: Damaged or leaked coolant hoses have to be replaced. Most coolant leaks are coming from hoses with loose clamps or hoses that are making contact (rubbing) with an object, especially a hot metal object that’s slowly eating into the hoses. We will inspect all your hoses and wires and make sure they are not rubbing against anything. We can also patch a hose instead of replacing it. But it is not advisable to leave it as a permanent solution, as it will start to leak again eventually.
• Radiator Repair or Replacement: A damaged radiator may have to be repaired or replaced to prevent leakage. The problem is that radiators can leak without a noticeable puddle of water under the car, and the car overheats in the short term. Coolant leaks from the radiator almost never leave spots on the ground. The reason is that there is much surface area, and relatively high temperature, so the liquid evaporates leaving only stains.
• Gasket Replacement: Head gasket blow will cause excessive coolant loss and this is why the gasket has to be replaced. We can also give you advice on products that can help rehydrate gasket seals and O-rings to stop leaks.

Recharging the Fresh Coolant. We top off the new coolant to the proper level. Proper coolant keeps the engine in its best condition and ensures the longest lifespan.

Air Removal. We bleed the system afterwards to drain out any extra air that has been trapped to make sure the coolant will be able to circulate freely. It is an essential requirement in overheating avoidance and cooling system performance at optimal capacity.

Leak Testing. Lastly, we perform a proper post-repair leak test so as to make sure that all parts are in excellent working condition. This may involve taking the vehicle for a ride and checking for a loss of coolant.

Car AC Coolant Leak Repair Cost

Coolant leak repair cost varies depending on numerous factors, such as

• Model and Make of Vehicle: High-performance or luxury cars are more expensive to fix because they require specialty parts and labor. For example, a sports car will cost more to fix as it requires costly repairs and more expensive coolant than a regular sedan.
• Leak Size: The size of the leak diameter given makes a big difference in terms of cost. Some tiny leaks don't progress, while others can suddenly get major. It all depends on the material. If it's a metal part of the radiator it will likely progress more gradually. Plastic can go from no leak or tiny leak to bursting at any time. And until you get significantly low on coolant you won't see a temperature increase.Minor jobs such as hose replacement will generally be cheaper than the more serious procedures such as radiator replacement or a blown head gasket.
• Labor Charges: Various repair centers can charge differently for labor depending on where they are located, how old they are, etc. Dubai has quite competitive labor rates, but one has to select a service center that performs good-quality work.
• Parts Availability: If your car utilizes specialty parts that are not as easily found, this will be more expensive and longer to fix. We always make every effort to use premium quality, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts wherever possible as an effort towards maintaining the vehicle’s performance and durability.

After your issue has been determined, our professionals will give you a clear explanation of what measures will be employed to fix it, so that you will know what to expect at an early stage.
