At J C Automotives, we recently helped a Subaru Forester owner avoid a potential overheating disaster thanks to their quick thinking and our thorough diagnostics.

The customer noticed a hissing sound coming from the engine bay and discovered that the coolant level was low. After topping it up, they brought the vehicle straight to our workshop for a closer inspection.

Upon inspection, we traced the problem to a leak in the radiator’s top tank. Thankfully, because the customer acted promptly, there were no signs of further damage such as overheating, warped components, or head gasket issues.

Carried out a complete cooling system flush to remove any old or contaminated coolant.

Refilled the system with fresh, high-quality coolant.

Pressure tested the entire cooling system to ensure there were no hidden leaks or weak points.

Everything checked out perfectly, and the Forester was back on the road, running cool and trouble-free.

A leaking radiator can escalate quickly into a much more expensive repair if left unchecked. Fortunately, this Forester’s owner trusted their instincts and brought the car in early — a great reminder that even small noises or changes in fluid levels should never be ignored.

If you hear anything unusual under the bonnet or notice your coolant level dropping, don’t wait — give J C Automotives a call, or book online. We’re here to keep your car running safely and reliably.
