Maintenance Tips Car Radiator

Meet again with the other tips that can save the maintenance cost of the care of the car radiator . Radiator is an important ancillary components in a car using water cooling system. But there is also a car with no radiator because it uses air cooling systems, such as VW or volkswagon. Weaknesses and benefits of water cooling system are as follows:

1. Water cooling system to prevent engine overheating because the water used to cool the engine and then through the radiator , the water will be cooled before going back into the engine. In this way the state to stop any engine can run at long periods without overheating problems. But the engine that uses air cooling system will have problems overheating when the car is not moving in a long time because it requires moving air to cool the engine.

2. Water cooling system is not too extreme, such as air cooling system. It requires maintenance from time to time and vice versa for the air cooling system.

How Radiator Maintenance : (Every 3 months)

1. Unlock the bottom hose radiator (this key is usually made ​​of plastic) and cover the radiator and let the water run until no more water flows from the radiator .

2. Open water from the tap (must be a powerful medium flow rate) and enter into the radiator, wait a while until the water has come out of the radiator , then turn on the engine.

3. Let the engine idle and the water flows out until the water coming out of the radiator is no longer rusty or colored tea with milk or milo.

4. Turn off the engine, put the key back under the covers the portion hose in the radiator and fill the radiator with water taps without using coolan t up to

5. Turn on the engine without the cover off the radiator . Actually, after a while, when the engine is hot, the water in the radiator will not boil. If boiling, this means that there are non-function in certain parts of the cooling system. Maybe clogged radiator, or the thermostat is not working.

6. This should be done every three months or more frequently to prevent the radiator is blocked or the flow of water in the engine clogged with rust or corrosion of iron water. If this happens, the engine temperature is no longer a normal and may be increased slightly, and most likely, overheating can occur.

7. The use of coolant can shorten the life expectancy of a water pump and thermostat and radiator can also cause blockages.

8. If the radiator is blocked, there is a shop that can clean the radiator without having to remove the radiator by using a special machine. Price wages in about RM35-RM50. I will try to find the store address and will email later.

9. If the radiator is leaking, I advise, take immediate action to change the radiator (either new or secondhand (shop cut), because if we leave, the possibility of overheating can occur and the cost is around RM1000 mewmbaiki overheating - RM1500 depending on the severity of damage. The cost of conversion radiator secondhand ( Store cut) less than $ 200. See the other hand, tips for the car.
