Overheating isn’t only a “mid-summer, middle-of-nowhere” problem. It can happen in traffic, on a school run, or while you’re idling with the aircon on. If your temperature needle climbs, your goal isn’t to “push through”. Your goal is to stop safely and avoid damage.

A few cooling system myths that cause trouble

Myth: Coolant is optional.
Coolant isn’t just coloured water. It helps with heat control and protects the system from corrosion. If you’re topping up often, something’s not right.

Myth: No puddle means no leak.
Small leaks can burn off on a hot engine. You might only notice the level dropping over time.

Myth: Overheating only happens on long trips.
Traffic and slow driving can be worse because there’s less airflow through the radiator.

Signs to take seriously
🌡️ The temperature needle creeping higher than normal
🌡️ A sweet smell (often coolant)
🌡️ Steam from the front of the car
🌡️ Coolant level dropping between checks

If the temperature climbs while you’re driving:

⚠️ Pull over somewhere safe as soon as you can and switch the engine off. Let it cool properly. 🚨 And don’t open the coolant cap while it’s hot. The system is pressurised and it can spray boiling coolant.

⚠️ If you’re stuck and it’s an emergency, water can help you get off the road, but it’s not the long-term answer. If you can, keep a bottle of the correct premixed coolant in the car and have the system checked if the level keeps dropping.

🤔 Quick question: when last did you check your coolant level? Be honest.

Before your next drive, take 60 seconds to check your coolant level (when the engine is cold). If it’s dropping, don’t ignore it. That’s your early warning.

Movember it’s all about the men in our lives and their health awareness
So men you always ask when do we celebrate you - this is your month
Time to take stock and do your health checks so we have you in our lives for much longer ❤️❤️❤️❤️

MEN IN THE MOTOR INDUSTRY – THIS ONE’S FOR YOU! You check engines. You fix problems. But when was the last time you checked in on yourself?

Every November, the world grows a little hairier — and a lot more aware. But Movember South Africa isn’t just about moustaches; it’s a global movement to change the face of men’s health — and it matters deeply here in South Africa.

Since around 2009/2010, Movember South Africa has united men (and the women who support them) to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and physical wellbeing.

Why does this matter?
• South African men have one of the highest prostate cancer mortality rates in the world at around 3.5 times higher than the global average – and is the leading cancer in South Africa.
• The average South African man lives 20 years less than his Australian counterpart, according to research cited by the University of Pretoria.
• And too many of our brothers, fathers, friends, and colleagues are fighting silent battles with mental health – 4 out of 5 su***des in South Africa are men (one of the highest male su***de rates in the world).

In South Africa, the Movember Foundation has previously partnered with local organisations such as the Prostate Cancer Foundation South Africa (PCFSA) and the The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) to drive awareness, research, and community programmes supporting men’s health.

Researchers Professors Riana Bornman and Vanessa Hayes from the University of Pretoria have collaborated on major genomics studies — including one funded in part by Movember — to investigate aggressive prostate cancer in African men.

Movember has helped raise significant global funding for men’s health programmes, driving real change and awareness worldwide.

Local note: In South Africa you may also see Brovember, a homegrown men’s-health campaign by Mens Foundation of South Africa, focused on local awareness, support, and survivorship programmes, with all funds raised staying in South Africa. At MIWA, we support every effort that gets men talking, testing, and taking action.

So this November, whether you grow a Mo, wear a fake one, or start a conversation, remember that Movember is a movement for every man’s life, health, and future.

💙 Let’s stand together for men’s health.
