How Do You Save Money On Radiator Repair?
Having a radiator that functions properly is essential to having a car that continues to function properly. Your car radiator keeps your engine, which produces a lot of heat, from overheating and destroying itself. It does this by cooling the coolant that has been run through the engine to a temperature that is usable and sending it back to the engine. Radiators cool the coolant by running it through thin channels in the radiator core. These thin lines then radiate heat. They are assisted by the radiator fan, which blows air through the radiator, and small metal lines acting as heat sinks that are attached to the radiator core. Radiator fluid should be flushed and replaced every two years on most vehicles to prevent corrosion in the cooling system. If this isn’t done, the corrosion process creates sediment which can clog the radiator. This would be diagnosed by running a flow test. Sometimes, a clogged radiator can be “rodded out.” If the radiator then passes a new flow test, it can be
