How to Care and Inspection of Car Engine Cooling System

 Some things that can be done for maintenance and inspection of the engine cooling system to prevent overheating engine or high temperatures.

1. Check the condition of the radiator and cooling system leak

Some parts radiator that needs to check is the upper tank and a lower tank, especially the use of plastic radiator tank to the upper and lower tanks. Because at a certain mileage kilometer upper tank and a lower tank made of plastic will be brittle and cracked causing water leaks radiator. Upper tank or radiator top section will first undergo damage due directly receive hot water from the engine. By using the radiator or radiator tester cup tester. By way of providing a higher pressure than the pressure relief valve radiator cap, radiator cap has a pressure of 1.1 bar generally or 0.9 bar. If a leak is found or dripping water treatment can be done at the site of the leak.


2. Checking Conditions Close radiator

There radiator cap rubbers if the rubber is damaged or has hardened can cause engine cooling water does not go through the radiator out of the reservoir tube. Examination of the radiator cap can also be done by using a cup radiator pressure tester to determine radiator relief valve begins to open, if not as stated on the radiator cap better soon replace the radiator cap.


3. Use Radiator Coolant

Water when heated tend to react with the metal and make the metal solution therefore if the radiator is not given radiator coolant water often has his usual yellowish color yellow will stick in the radiator. Impure water often contains metal in it that can cause the crust and eventually clog the radiator which in turn makes the engine overheating.
Water has a low evaporation point only 100 C while the temperature of the machine can be up to 140 C so if we use the water to fill the radiator, the water in the radiator will be quickly reduced. So the radiator coolant is recommended for your car radiator.


4. Check the condition of Slang and Its Radiator Clamps Radiator Slang

Conditions where the radiator hose is time in lieu is when the hose has started to harden, and when in the press by hand is no longer pliable. Usually a sound alert when the radiator hose on the tap.


5. Check Blowing or Wind Speed ​​Radiator Fan Radiator and Its Surface Cleanliness

Modern machines with the motor cooling fan, motor cooling fan or radiator fan will run when the temperature reached wickedness. Impurities such as dust, leaves or bent fins will reduce the ability to dissipate heat radiator, but it also adds to the load on the motor cooling fan with his mark up the electrical current flowing to the motor cooling fan "when using the motor cooling fan." Conditions Motor Cooling Fan motors also affects wind speed cooling fan or radiator fan to remove heat radiator.

6. Check the height of engine oil through oil Stick

Functions in addition to the engine oil to lubricate the engine parts that rub well to cool the engine cooling system apart, it is important to keep the engine oil in sufficient quantities.


7. Check the condition of V-Belt Water Pump Yang Play or Water Pump

Examination of the condition of v-belt to prevent the v-belt broke because v-belt that is already visible cracks should be prone to break and must be replaced to prevent a break up in the middle of the road.
