Did you know that cars are 50% more likely to overheat and break down when the mercury soars? If you live in a sunny city like San Diego or Phoenix, that’s all year round! It reduces your car’s battery life dramatically, causes its tires to overinflate, thickens engine oil, and wreaks havoc on its cooling system.
This system dissipates the heat that your car engine produces and trust us, it produces a lot of heat. It does this by circulating a liquid coolant through the engine block and passes that through a radiator that rapidly cools it down. As you can imagine, your radiator has a tougher time coping with your engine’s heat on hot days, causing your car to overheat and stall. This can damage the engine and require expensive repairs.
Warning Signs Your car’s radiator needs regular maintenance, repair and replacement. You should flush the radiator every 30,000 miles, and get a mechanic to look at it at least once a year. Apart from this, your car will also let you know if your radiator is due for a little maintenance with some warning signs.
Warning Light - • Your dashboard has a coolant warning light. If it comes on, it’s time to pull over, let the engine cool down, and check the rest of the cooling system. • Pings - • If you hear strange pinging sounds from the engine, odds are it’s overheating and causing the fuel to ignite in the compression chamber, causing the internal combustion engine to stall.
Steam - • Steam billowing from the engine is a sure sign you need to pull over. Apart from the lowered visibility making an accident likely, it’s also your engine’s final gasp as it begs for help. Heed it, and pull over. • Low coolant levels - • If you frequently need to top off your coolant, you might have a leak. It’s best to get a qualified mechanic to check the cooling system and nip this issue in the bud.
Shifting - • In cars with an integrated transmission cooler, the need for radiator repair might show up as a slight issue when the car shifts gears. This is because coolant has been leaking out of cracks and faults and contaminating the transmission fluid.
Heat - • If the cooling system isn’t working, the engine’s heat had no escape, which caused it to overheat. In this case, as soon as you pop the hood of the car, you will feel a blast of searing hot air coming off the engine block.
Leaks - • If you notice a pool of yellow, green or red liquid under your parked vehicle, it’s likely that your coolant is leaking from a cracked radiator, a hose, from the engine block or from any of the joints in the system
Sludge Buildup - • Your car’s coolant is red, green or yellow. If the color is brown when you peek into your coolant overflow tank, it’s time to flush the radiator and replace the coolant.
