Coolant System Repair in Fairfax, VA
The main function of the coolant system in your vehicle is to remove the heat from the engine and dissipate it to the outside air. It helps to cool down important components in the engine that heat up during operation. To stabilize the heat an engine produces when it’s running, the components such as the radiator, water pump, coolant fan, thermostat, and a series of hoses work together to make sure that heat is properly absorbed and maintained at a constant temperature.
Why Is Coolant System Maintainence Important?
A faulty coolant system will cause overheating of your engine, or the vehicle won’t start at all due to frozen engine fluids. Our staff of licensed mechanics specializes in auto repair in Fairfax, VA, and can keep your car’s coolant system in proper working order.
Throughout Coolant System Upkeep Your Technician Will Check:
- Hoses and belts for indicators of holes or cracks
- Your fluid level and condition
- Signs of deterioration and rust
- Deposit or fluids that could show signs of damages or leaks
- If all components, fans, and the thermostat are functioning correctly
How The Coolant System Works?
A car engine produces a lot of heat and must be cooled to avoid engine damage. The coolant system works by circulating coolant throughout the engine system via a water pump. The heat is absorbed before being returned to the radiator, where it is dissipated into the air. A thermostat is used to regulate the temperature of the coolant to make sure it is consistent for maximum engine operation efficiency. If the liquid’s temperature falls below a certain level, the solution bypasses the radiator and instead is diverted back to the engine block. If the coolant system does not function properly, critical engine parts can fail and cause your vehicle to be inoperable.
Signs That Your Vehicle Needs a Coolant System Service
Our mechanics can properly inspect your vehicle’s coolant system and perform a coolant flush if necessary. This quick maintenance procedure can save you money in the future and prevent a potential vehicle breakdown. Maintaining the ideal level of fluids and replacing those that have depleted is critical to your vehicle’s driving performance and safety. If you notice any of these signs of coolant system failure be sure to visit us immediately.
