Man is a cooling systems expert. When it comes to your radiator,or any other
part of your car's cooling system,he's the one to see. Your cooling system plays
an important role in your vehicle's performance. Left alone,an engine would
become extremely hot,overheat and even begin to melt. The cooling system helps
keep your engine cool,and running. Antifreeze/Coolant Antifreeze is actually
half antifreeze,half water. And it does more than just keep things from
freezing. It has anti-freeze,anti-boil and anti-corrosive properties. It flows
through your radiator and engine and helps keep everything working at the right
temperature. Like all liquids,antifreeze will eventually break down. Your Car-X
Man recommends changing your antifreeze every two years or 24 MaxiCheck
EPB,000 miles. This is often called a flush and fill. During this
procedure,your Car-X Man will also check your hoses and radiator for leaks and
cracks and repair any that need to be replaced. Cooling Fan A cooling fan
circulates air through the radiator so that it can release engine heat into the
surrounding air. The fans can be mechanical or electric,if the cooling fan
malfunctions,your engine can quickly overheat. Your Car-X Man will inspect your
cooling fan and make sure the drive belt,or fan belt,that makes it turn,is not
loose or cracked. He can also repair and replace damaged fans. Pressure Cap A
pressure cap is sometimes,but not always,called the radiator cap. It may be on
the radiator,or on the coolant reservoir. A pressure cap should be inspected at
least once a year. It's important your Car-X technician do the inspection. A cap
that's taken off while the engine is still hot could result in severe burns from
the spray of boiling coolant. Coolant Reservoir The coolant reservoir indicates
the level of coolant in the system. Your Car-X Man can check this during every
oil change. Thermostat The thermostat is a valve that regulates the flow of
coolant based on coolant temperature. A poorly performing thermostat can result
in overheating,engine knocking,poor fuel economy and more. Your Car-X Man will
check your thermostat during an inspection of your cooling system. Heating and
Air Conditioning Your Car-X Man is also a heating and air conditioning expert.
In fact,he can service your car's entire HVAC system. Everything from a flushing
and fill of the systems refrigerant,to checking hoses and maintaining the
heating core. For expert service on your cooling system maxidas
