What is the cooling system?

In simple terms, a vehicles’ cooling system consists of components that manage and maintain the engine’s temperature, regardless of factors such as ambient temperature and operating conditions like road speed.

Major deviations on either side of an engines ideal operating temperature can cause serious engine damage.        

In modern vehicles many manufacturers have adopted engine technologies that rely heavily on the engine temperature to reduce emissions, so it is now possible to find engines in late-model vehicles that run 20 or more degrees hotter that what is considered normal in older engines.

Regardless of what you drive, it is critical that your cooling system is in premium condition to help protect your car from expensive breakdowns.

 

Some of the signs that there are problems with your cooling system include:

• Car overheats (see engine temperature gauge).

• Puddle of (greenish or brownish) cooling fluid under the car.
