Regular Coolant Flush: Replace the coolant according to the manufacturers recommended intervals to avoid contamination.
Inspect for Leaks: Regularly check around the water pump for any signs of coolant leaks.
Check the Pump Motor: Inspect the inverter pump motor and wiring to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Monitor the Temperature Gauge: Keep an eye on the temperature gauge to catch early signs of cooling issues.
