The Overheating Problem
Through combustion and friction, your vehicle’s engine generates a tremendous amount of heat. The radiator and related components are necessary for capturing and dissipating heat that would otherwise quickly lead to engine overheating, damage, and then catastrophic failure. Your car’s radiator is designed with small tubes flanked by fins. This allows the hot coolant fluid that circulates and absorbs heat to gain maximum exposure to air so that it is cooled as you drive before returning to repeat the process. This works very well unless something disrupts the radiator’s cooling ability. One possible problem is physical blockage. If roadside trash or splattered mud attaches to the radiator, a portion is blocked, limiting the surface area exposed to the air it needs for cooling. Also, road debris can fly into the radiator, puncturing and releasing its vital fluid. Over time, rust can form internally, working toward the outer shell until the radiator has a hole in it. While a physically blocked radiator can be remedied by removing the barrier, a radiator with a hole in it typically needs to be replaced. In addition to trouble with the radiator, related problems can impede the unit’s ability to function properly. For example, the water pump is necessary for circulating coolant between the radiator and engine block. If it quits working, we’ll need to replace it. Also, your vehicle relies on a fan to increase airflow across the radiator. A fan problem usually leads to an overheating issue. Finally, hose failures or thermostat malfunctions require immediate attention to prevent overheating.
