Engine Cooling System
First and foremost, the cooling system is not the same as the air conditioning system. While air conditioning is a pleasant perk, your car’s cooling system is essential for driving.
A cooling system circulates liquid coolant via pipes in the engine block and heads to keep the engine cool. The coolant absorbs heat from the machine as it passes through these channels. The heated fluid flows to the car’s front radiator via a rubber tube.
Three primary functions of engine cooling system
The cooling system’s primary goal is to keep your engine at a safe operating temperature. It’s a lot easy to say than it is to do. Coolant (also known as antifreeze) is used in the cooling system to dissipate heat generated by the combustion engine. Ethylene or propylene glycol, as well as de-mineralized water, are commonly used as coolants.
It’s also worth noting that coolant doesn’t last for the vehicle’s entire life. The cooling system does not require a complete repair with each oil change, but the antifreeze levels should be checked and fixed. It’s also important to check the fluid’s quality.
When Should You Schedule A Maintenance Service?
Every 30,000-60,000 miles, most manufacturers recommend a thorough service (or 3-5 years). While your cooling system may not require frequent attention, Quick-fit autos are the best vehicle repair company in Abu Dhabi. Our Quick fit autos experts drain the old coolant and replace it with fresh coolant ready to use during the service.
The Importance of Coolant
The temperature of your engine is maintained by a flow of antifreeze, sometimes known as “coolant.” When we do a coolant flush, we inject antifreeze into your vehicle’s cooling system to flush out any old antifreeze and impurities that have accumulated. The old coolants are drained out of the system so that the new antifreeze does not mix with the old. Finally, conditioners are added to prevent rust and scale buildup, resulting in a fresh antifreeze that lasts longer.
Because each make and model are unique, the suggested maintenance regimen differs. Consult your owner’s manual to find out when your car needs a coolant to cleanse. It should usually be done once a year. If it’s been a while since your vehicle has had a coolant flush, give Quick fit autos a call now.
