The cooling system of the car is frequently neglected, which leads to engine failures. Given the climate in India, this is even more crucial. You can avoid expensive engine damage by doing routine maintenance and checking the level of your engine coolant.

How to Check the Coolant Level in Your Engine

Every time you fill up with petrol, make it a habit to quickly visually check the coolant level in the overflow bottle. If the level is low, wait until the engine has cooled down—which typically requires several hours after a drive—before removing the radiator filler lid.

Check the owner’s manual or Book Tserv services for the exact type, amount, and procedure of coolant to use if you’re topping off or changing the coolant yourself. For guidance, you can also go to a Tserv multiband auto repair shop.

What Happens If I Have to Keep Topping Off the Engine Coolant?

The radiator or one of the hoses may be leaking if you frequently need to top off the coolant level and you’ve observed a puddle under the car.

If there isn’t any evidence of coolant evaporating from the engine, it can be seeping from within.

An outward leak is typically simpler to repair than an interior one, which may indicate a more serious issue. In either case, you should get your car serviced as soon as you can to avoid more issues.

Keep an eye on the temperature gauge next to the speedometer in addition to checking the coolant level. A warning tone or light will frequently be activated if the needle rises outside of its typical range, which may also indicate a cooling system issue. Your car could avoid costly engine damage by coming to a safe stop and dialing for roadside assistance.

How Does the Cooling System of an Automobile Operate?

By running coolant through the engine, the cooling system eliminates around a third of the waste heat produced by the engine. Only about a third of the heat produced during combustion is turned into mechanical energy to propel the car, even in today’s fuel-efficient engines. The cooling and exhaust systems remove the remainder.

The Essential Elements of a Vehicle’s Cooling System

• Pressurized radiator with a cap
• Extra-large bottle
• Thermostat
• Coolant fan
• System for cooling cars

A mixture of water and chemicals called coolant is used in engines to stop corrosion. Driving in chilly weather can require adding antifreeze to the cooling system. Always use antifreeze and coolant according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Never remove the radiator cap from a hot engine because a pressurised radiator cap raises the coolant’s boiling point. When the coolant is heated, the overflow container allows it to expand.

When the automobile is stationary, such as when you’re in traffic, the cooling fan pushes air through the radiator.

Using a thermostat, the cooling system keeps the engine at the proper operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the thermostat limits the flow of coolant to speed up the engine’s ascent to this productive operating temperature.

• Regular maintenance should include cooling system inspections.
• Every time you refuel, check the amount of your coolant.
• On a hot engine, never remove the radiator cap.
• If your vehicle has overheated, stop and dial for help.
