Prevent Costly Breakdowns and Potential Engine Damage
The Basics
The cooling system protects against damage by keeping the engine operating within the correct temperature range. The system includes the radiator, water pump, hoses, fan, heater, thermostat, engine block, and heads. Anti-freeze provides a minimal amount of protection against rust, scale, and other forms of corrosion. If your vehicle is overdue for cooling system service, deposits may be building up. Corrosion can cause the radiator to rot out, as well as damage the engine block and heads, leading to the need for Edmonton radiator repair.
The Solution
Changing the coolant doesn't simply mean draining the radiator and refilling it. Doing so would leave at least half the coolant (the portion in the other components) and other rust and impurities. A complete coolant flush requires a full back flushing of the entire system before adding new coolant. Regular cooling system service is recommended to prevent breakdowns and avoid costly repairs such as Edmonton radiator repair. Coolant lasts about 2 years or 45,000 km. After that period of time, a complete coolant flush and change are recommended. Timely cooling system service can help extend the life of your vehicle and avoid issues that require major repairs, like Edmonton radiator repair.
