Full Breakdown

Services and Checks

The work and checks for your vehicle are agreed in the written quote. This list shows possible scope, not a package with every item included.

01

Say what happened and when it happened

Note whether the gauge rises in traffic or at speed, whether the heater blows cold, whether coolant is being topped up and whether there was steam. With the make, model and year, that shapes the first checks.

02

Find the loss before replacing the part

Coolant leaves through hoses, the radiator, the pump, the expansion tank, a cooler or a failed gasket. A pressure test and inspection locate the loss so the replacement matches the fault rather than the guess.

03

Thermostat, pump, fan and radiator each checked

Overheating with no visible leak can sit in the thermostat, the water pump, the fan and its control, a blocked radiator or airflow. The report names what was tested and what the result was.

04

Head gasket questions answered with evidence

When the symptoms raise the possibility of a gasket or head fault, the workshop says which test supports that conclusion before quoting the larger repair. Ask what was measured rather than accepting the label.

05

The Dubai summer is part of the assessment

Long periods at low speed in high ambient heat put the fan, the coolant condition and the radiator under continuous load. Mention how and where you drive, because it changes what is worth checking.

06

Work confirmed before it starts

The inspected scope, parts and labour are agreed in writing before the repair begins, and approval is asked again if the strip-down shows more.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about overheating & cooling system repair

My temperature warning came on. Can I keep driving to the workshop?
Continuing to drive an overheating engine risks far more expensive damage. Stop safely, let it cool, and contact Active Auto with the vehicle details; collection and return of the car can be arranged.
I keep topping up coolant but see no puddle. Why?
Coolant can be lost through pressure, evaporation at a hot leak or internally. A pressure test and inspection are used to locate it instead of assuming the visible parts are fine.
Is a new radiator always the answer to overheating?
No. The thermostat, water pump, fan and its control, hoses, airflow and coolant condition can each cause it. The assessment identifies which one applies to your car.
