The Importance of Vehicle Cooling Systems
Every component of a vehicle has its role in ensuring smooth performance, but few elements can impact your driving experience like the cooling system. Among other responsibilities, the cooling system keeps your engine at a suitable temperature, making your drive safe, pleasant, and unproblematic.
So, what happens if the cooling system in your vehicle malfunctions? It's a disaster waiting to happen, and that’s where we come in! At ATS Automotive, we’ve dedicated years to understanding these complexities to ensure your drive remains trouble-free.
So, what exactly is the cooling system, and how does it work?
Essentially, the cooling system’s function in your vehicle is to prevent the engine from overheating. The system uses coolant (also known as antifreeze) that circulates through the engine and absorbs excess heat. This heated coolant then moves to the radiator, where it gets cooled down by air that enters the vehicle’s front grille. Consequently, a failing cooling system will lead to a drastic increase in your engine's temperature, resulting in potential significant damages.
That’s why it’s vital to have regular checks performed by professional mechanics. It's not enough to have occasional looks under the hood. There are numerous complexities and potential issues that may evade the untrained eye, making the professional inspection invaluable.
There are some red flags to watch for that indicate a problem with your vehicle's cooling system:
- Overheating engine
- Steam coming out from under the hood
- Low coolant levels
- A sweet smell, almost like syrup (an indication of a coolant leak)
- The temperature gauge showing abnormal readings
While these are all common signs, we strongly recommend seeking professional help immediately if you notice any abnormal behaviour with your vehicle, to avoid potentially serious consequences. And if you're in or around Hobart you're in luck!
