What is Radiator and Cooling System?

Heat and car engines are fickle friends. Too much heat and the engine will expand and seize up; not enough heat and it won’t run efficiently, and eventually, it will give out. While there have been major advances in powertrain systems in recent years, with the exception of becoming a more compact size and faster-acting, automotive cooling systems have remained relatively unchanged. In fact, today’s cars still rely on the same components that they have relied on since, well, forever, to manage the heat: a radiator and cooling system.

A radiator is a vital component of a car engine’s cooling system. Its primary purpose is to disperse a combination of antifreeze and water throughout the radiator’s fins to release some of the engine’s heat, while at the same time drawing in cool air, which is distributed throughout the rest of the engine. A water pump, spur line, and fan clutch, which are situated near the radiator, also play important parts in an engine’s cooling system. It’s important to note that the cooling system is not the air conditioning system, and while there’s no denying that an AC is an invaluable feature (especially during the dog days of summer here in Dallas-Fort Worth), the cooling system is vital to your car’s performance; in fact, if it malfunctions, your engine could end up failing.

Signs Your Radiator and Cooling System Need to be Serviced

If you’ve ever popped the hood of your car after you’ve been driving it for a while, there’s no doubt you noticed how hot it gets. If it weren’t for the radiator and cooling system, it would quickly overheat. If the radiator or any other component of the cooling system is faulty, the engine could end up overheating and seizing, and you could be looking at serious and costly repairs. To avoid complications and major headaches, being aware of the signals that indicate signs of trouble is vital. If you’re experiencing any of the following, schedule an appointment to have your radiator and cooling system checked out right away:

•         The temperature gauge is off (higher or lower than normal)
•         The coolant light comes on
•         Your leaking coolant/antifreeze (bright yellow, green, or pink fluid)
•         The heater isn’t working
•         You’re burning through gas
•         A sweet odor (antifreeze)
