When Does the Cooling System Need Repair?
Does your car, truck or SUV leave small puddles of green liquid everywhere it goes? This means that your cooling system has a leak and needs to be repaired. Cooling systems are built to keep your engine from overheating. A loss in coolant, even a small one, can have an impact on your engine’s ability to cool itself, causing it to overheat. Some common sources of an overheated engine are:
- A lack of coolant. Likely from a leaky cooling system.
- A lack of circulation. Likely from a blocked hose or broken belt.
- Engine burning coolant. Likely from a poorly functioning or nonfunctioning head gasket. Steam might show up in the exhaust if this is occurring.
When Does the Timing Belt Require Service?
The timing belt on your car, truck or SUV has control over the camshaft in your engine. It opens and closes the valves to ensure proper operation.
- Timing belts rarely require service unless they’re broken or otherwise damaged, but there are some common symptoms that drivers in the Skokie, IL area have to look out for.
- An unusual squeaking, possibly high-pitched, coming from the timing cover.
- A snapped timing belt will result in a car that is unable to start.
When Does a Radiator Need Maintenance?
A faulty radiator will result in an overheating engine. Radiator problems can be very difficult to diagnose due to the number of components connected to the radiator, but the team at our Skokie, IL area auto service center is skilled at getting to the root of radiator problems quickly.
- Radiator leaks can be linked to the radiator cap, a leak from the head gasket, a leak from the engine block, or a damaged hose or water pump.
- An overheating radiator can be linked to a malfunctioning cooling fan, a broken fan belt, a faulty water pump or a defective thermostat.
- Coolant and water can also leak from the radiator. A radiator diagnostic will need to be performed to find the exact root of the problem.
