Just like you buy a vehicle, you also need to pay close attention to the parts of that vehicle. Otherwise, you will not be able to use the vehicle for a long time. So, if you have a vehicle, one thing you definitely need to take care of is the radiator of the vehicle. Many people do not care about this. So that's why today, MotorGuide, we thought of telling you about the radiator.

What does a radiator do?

The radiator does this by removing the heat generated when the engine is running and stopping the engine from overheating. There are 2 main parts of a radiator. They are,

  1. Top tank
  2. Bottom tank

And it includes an aluminum part called the radiator core.

What are the parts of a radiator?

  • Inlet
  • Filter neck
  • Transmission oil cooler
  • Outlet
  • Drain plug
  • Fan

Check the coolant level every morning

Many people do not do this. But remember to check the coolant level every morning. Because the wires may be damaged and a hose may have burst. So, remember to check the coolant level every day before driving your vehicle.

How often should you check the radiator?

Many people do not look at the radiator after the vehicle is serviced. But if you can check the radiator every day, it is very good for the vehicle.

How to cool the engine properly?

In order for the engine to cool properly, the coolant must go around the engine. So the pipeline that takes the coolant to the engine is called the engine horse.

How should you add coolant?

Generally, you should change the coolant every 40,000km. Also, you should add a coolant and do not add inferior coolant. If you think about profit and add inferior coolant, it can be a big problem for the vehicle.

How to check the coolant in a car?

First, you need to check if the engine is off. It is very dangerous to check the coolant in a hot or running engine.

Do not add coolant above the max level

You should never add coolant above the max level. Because when the engine heats up, the coolant expands and can be thrown out of the bottles.

Why does water boil in a radiator?

There are a few reasons why water boils in a radiator. So, first, you need to check if the fan is loose. The fan belt may be broken. Or the radiator may be worn out, or there may be a leak in the pipes. Then the engine of the vehicle will not cool.

Why does the vehicle heat up?

You need to wait until the engine is off with the bonnet open. If the coolant level is low, add coolant until it reaches the Max level. Also, if your vehicle heats up every two or three days, don't forget to pay attention to it. Even if the engine oil is low, the vehicle will try to heat up. There may be a problem with the radiator. Insufficient tuning of the vehicle also affects the vehicle's heat in the same way.

Is water? Is coolant good for the vehicle

You should never add water to the vehicle. Adding water can block the vehicle's cooling system. It can also cause rust. So always remember to add coolant.

This is how you check the coolant level of the vehicle. So as we said today in MotorGuide, if you take care of the radiator of your vehicle as well as the coolant level, there will be no problems with the vehicle.
