Cooling System at The Auto Clinic

If your engine has overheated, you should also check your coolant system for leaks. Check the radiator for cracks and the radiator hoses for leaks. You should also check your water pump. They don’t need to be replaced on a regular schedule, but they do need to be checked regularly. They can and do wear out.

The water pump is a critical component of your cooling system. It pumps the coolant to keep it circulating through the engine. The coolant is cooled in the radiator, then it travels through the engine, where it absorbs heat, then it returns to the radiator, where it releases the heat. And so on. When you turn your engine on, you also turn the cooling system on. Call or stop in today so one of our service professionals can help diagnose the problem.

Keeping your cooling system in good repair will help keep your engine running well and keep you out of the repair shop. This means that a regular inspection of your cooling system should be on your schedule for routine preventive maintenance of your vehicle. It varies depending on what kind of car you drive, what type of driving you do and where you live.
