Taking care of your car’s radiator and cooling systems is the best way to prevent your car from overheating. Your engine is constantly burning fuel—so naturally, it gets hot. The cooling system’s primary job is to remove excess heat from the engine. Here are some cooling system warning signs to watch out for:
The radiator is part of your vehicle’s overall cooling system that helps draw harmful heat away from your car’s engine. To do this, coolant/antifreeze is circulated through the engine block. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and is circulated through the system by the water pump through hoses to the radiator. The radiator then transfers the heat from the coolant by using a fan that pulls outside air across the radiator fins to cool the coolant. The coolant circulates back to the engine and the cycle begins again.
