Your vehicle's engine runs pretty hot because of all the explosions happening inside of it. This is the reason why there is a cooling system that keeps everything at a certain temperature. But what does the cooling system exactly consist of? In this blog, we will take a look at all the components you will find in a cooling system. Coolant The cooling fluid is usually filtered water and antifreeze (which keeps the water from freezing). It runs in a closed loop through the whole system. Now that you know what coolant is, let's move on to the components themselves. Engine Block The engine block is the biggest part of your engine. It's made out of metal, which is great at dissipating heat. The block is built in such a way that the coolant can get all throughout it, so cooling is maximized. Watch out for coolant leaks inside the engine that can be detected by either exhaust smoke or constantly low coolant levels. Water Pump ... read more
