#spring is here and its a good time for some
#routine #maintenance on your
#cars and
#trucks .The
#warmweather will be here soon..we hope..and your
#vehicles #engine will start to
#warmup as well. Now is the
#time to get your
#cooling #system checked out here
+Hayden's Auto & Truck Repair in
#sparta #newjersey #nj . Your vehicles cooling system is filled with
#coolant which is a mix of water and
#antifreeze that circulates through the
#engine to draw off
#heat First, you need to have the proper amount. If you don't have enough coolant it can't keep your engine
#cool .
You also need the right kind of coolant. Different makes of vehicles require different coolant formulation to protect against
#corrision .
Finally, your coolant needs to be
#fresh . Over time and miles, the anti-corrosion additives in the coolant are depleted and the coolant can actually start to eat away at the cooling system parts. Your owner's manual and your service adviser at
#haydens can help you with the recommended coolant replacement schedule and make sure you're getting the right type of coolant.
Now, as far as cooling system components. These will all eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Starting with the radiator, we see them coming into our
#autorepair #shop with leaks or clogged with deposits. Depending on the
#damage , we will clean,
#repair or
#replace . We also see
#radiator pressure caps that can no longer hold the proper pressure. We recommend replacing pressure caps when you change your coolant to avoid this problem. We see leaky
#water pumps and hoses that need to be replaced. There's also a part called the
#thermostat that opens and closes to regulate the flow of coolant. Sometimes they stick
#open or
#closed and the cooling system won't work properly.
So take some time now and stop into Haydens Autos Trucks & Equipment Today!!
