Vehicle Cooling System Service Near Atlantic City, New Jersey

Vehicle Cooling System Service at Sport Hyundai

Anytime you start your vehicle, the engine begins to heat up, and while this is a normal occurrence, overheating can happen. Your vehicle’s engine gets even hotter in the summer months and an overheating engine can mean severe damage. This is where the cooling system comes in. Without a cooling system, your engine would overheat quickly, stop working, and could have major damage. Hammonton drivers can keep their cooling system running as it should by bringing their vehicles in for services at Sport Hyundai. 

What Is a Vehicle Cooling System?

Not only does a vehicle’s cooling system help the engine cool down but it also helps keep the engine at a maintained temperature for maximum efficiency. A cooling system is made up of multiple parts that all have to work together to keep your engine running as it should. These parts include:

●     Coolant Pump - This pumps coolant throughout the engine hoses.

●     Radiator - Disperses heat coming from the engine.

●     Fans - Provides airflow to the radiator

●     Thermostat Valve - This opens when the preferred temperature is achieved.  

Your vehicle’s cooling system combines with the cabin ventilation system as well because the heat coming from the engine enters the interior cabin.

Getting a Coolant Flush Near Atlantic City

Like all fluids inside your vehicle, coolant, or antifreeze starts to break down over time. As the coolant runs through the cooling system, it collects water and debris which causes it to deteriorate. Once the antifreeze breaks down it can no longer work as effectively and needs to be changed. How often a vehicle’s coolant needs to be changed depends on the type of vehicle, the age, and how many miles it has been driven. Inside your vehicle’s owner’s manual will suggest how long your vehicle should go between coolant changes. Most service centers suggest flushing the antifreeze between 30,000 to 120,000 miles depending on the vehicle. Atlantic City drivers can also ask our service center about their next coolant flush.
