Cooling System
The engine cooling system affects your car's overall dependability and engine longevity. Cooling systems have advanced over the years with new coolant formulations and new radiator designs and materials. If you suspect a problem with your cooling system, your should check it immediately.
What does it do?
The key part of the cooling system removes heat from the engine and automatic transmission and dissipate heat into the air outside. The water pump circulates coolant thru the engine. The coolant absorbs heat and return it to the radiator where heat is dissipated. The thermostat regulates the coolant temperature to keep it consistent for efficient engine operation.
Typical Wear and Tear
Factors that affect the replacement of the cooling system parts includes:
- Driving habits
- Operating conditions
- Type of vehicle
- Type of coolant
- Frequency of regular maintenance
Symptoms
