Cooling System

Making sure your cooling system is in proper condition is important to your vehicles operation both in the summer and the winter. The coolant freeze point and ph level are both necessary elements in protecting your engine and coolant components. The system includes the water pump, heater core, hoses, thermostat, fan, radiator and pressure cap. The cooling system should be serviced per the factory recommendations. Diagnosis may require pressure testing and with many newer vehicles it may also require scanning the computer system for trouble codes. A visual inspection would include looking for leaks, coolant residue (may only leak hot or cold) and belts & hoses for swelling or cracks.
