Cooling Systems | King Country Motors

The cooling system in your vehicle is critical to keeping the engine operating at the right temperature. If it’s not working properly, overheating can cause major and expensive engine damage. At King Country Motors Taumarunui, we can test, repair, service, or replace every part of your cooling system.

What’s in a cooling system?

The engine cooling system is made up of the following parts:

  • Radiator & radiator fans
  • Hoses & thermostat
  • Coolant (antifreeze)
  • Intercooler & oil cooler
  • Water pump

All of these work together to keep your vehicle at the correct operating temperature.

Common problems we see

  • Blocked or dirty radiators: Over time, the front of the radiator can become clogged with dirt, leaves, or road debris. This reduces airflow and stops the radiator from cooling properly.
  • Weak or brittle hoses: Old rubber hoses can split or leak under pressure.
  • Faulty thermostats or water pumps: If these fail, your engine can overheat quickly.
  • Leaking coolant: This can cause poor performance, overheating, or even head gasket damage if not repaired.

Our cooling system services

  • Cooling system pressure testing (to check for leaks)
  • Coolant flush and replacement (removing old coolant and replacing with fresh, protective fluid)
  • Radiator repairs and replacements
  • Hose, thermostat, and water pump replacement
  • Intercooler and oil cooler inspection and servicing

Intercooler Upgrades & Benefits

For turbocharged vehicles, the intercooler plays a big role in performance. An upgraded aftermarket intercooler can:

  • Reduce intake air temperatures for more consistent power
  • Improve reliability when towing or driving in hot conditions
  • Increase efficiency for performance and economy
  • Support ECU remapping and tuning for better results

We can supply and install improved intercoolers designed for your specific vehicle, giving you better performance and durability.
