Your radiator protects your engine and air
conditioning condenser from overheating. It also plays an
important role with the computer controlled system. An
engine temperature sensor actually tells the computer what
the engine temperature is so the computer can adjust the air
and fuel mixture and engine timing. The efficiency of the
radiator directly effects the efficiency of your engine.
That's why flushing the cooling system and
pH balancing the coolant is recommended at least once every
two years.
Our coolant system power flush removes
contaminates. We pressure test the cooling system for leaks,
clean the recovery bottle and pressure test the radiator
cap. The system is then refilled with the proper mix of
coolant and water to reach the -35 degrees for winter
protection.
We抮e often asked questions about the
cooling system ?the system that cools your engine
and keeps it at the proper operating temperature. Let抯 examine
the topic in two areas: first the coolant itself and, second, the
parts that make up the cooling system.
The
coolant in
your car or light truck is the mix of water and
antifreeze that
circulates through the engine to draw off heat. First, you need to
have the proper amount. If you don抰 have enough coolant it can抰
keep your engine cool.
You also need the
right
kind of coolant. Different makes of sedans and other
vehicles require different coolant formulation to
protect
against corrosion.
