Staying on top of the maintenance of your vehicle's cooling system can save you a lot of time, headaches and money. If your vehicle does overheat, then you risk engine failure, blown head gaskets, and damage to other engine components. Be proactive and plan out the routine maintenance of your car's cooling system.
Your first step should be to perform a visual inspection to check for coolant leaks. Your cooling system is comprised of the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses and cap. Together these components work to push engine coolant through the system to draw out and dissipate heat while also maintaining engine temperature.
