From the time of the very first vehicles until the ’70s, radiators were made of a combination of brass and copper. No other material could compete with this combination in terms of heat dissipation, resistance to corrosion and ease of repair.

It is hard to disagree that one of the most destructive things a person can do to their vehicle is to allow the engine to overheat. Severe overheating can render the engine — and many of its component parts — completely useless, resulting in a large repair bill.

The location of the water pump in relation to the engine can vary by application. Whether you can...

Vehicle AC and heating systems have many common parts, which work synchronously to produce warm or cool air for the driver and passengers. Unfortunately, a single malfunctioning part or improper installation can result in failure or decreased capacity of the heating and air conditioning systems. Many auto technicians identify the vehicle’s cooling system as the culprit; however, this may not always be the case.

Engine overheating is a serious problem that can swiftly cause catastrophic damage to the engine....

The weather in most parts of the country is bitterly cold right now, and much of the country is blanketed in a thin (or even not-so-thin) layer of ice and snow. Even areas that typically never see snow or ice are shut down due to severe winter storms.

Engine cooling fans are necessary to draw air through the radiator while the vehicle is moving at a slow speed or when at an idle. When the vehicle is moving at sufficient speed, air is being forced through the radiator at greater cubic feet per minute (CFM) than the fan is capable of, making the fan redundant.

Cooling system leaks can be internal or external in nature. Either one is cause for concern and immediate attention to head off any possibility of overheating or catastrophic engine failure.

Guide to water pump replacement for your car or truck with expert advise presented in a simple to understand manner.

Both the water pump and timing belt are important when it comes to engine maintenance. So, while you’re going through the difficulty of replacing the water pump, save some time and labor costs by replacing the timing belt at the same time.

When an automobile engine gets heated while running, it is the job of the cooling system to reduce the heat and protect the engine from overheating. Irrespective of the outside temperature, the cooling system has to keep the engine at the right temperatures, not too low or high, but at a moderate constant proportion.

The function of the cooling system in an automotive engine is to remove the heat that is produced during combustion by circulating the coolant between the radiator and the engine. The cooling system of a vehicle includes important parts like radiator, pressure cap, cooling fan, thermostat valve, water pump, temperature gauge, hoses & pipes etc.
