Cooling System Service

YOUR VEHICLE’S COOLING SYSTEM

Every Chevrolet car, truck, van, crossover, and SUV with an internal combustion engine has a cooling system responsible for keeping the engine running cool. The Cooling System circulates coolant fluid throughout the engine to absorb and dissipate the heat away from the engine block and cylinder heads. Many vital components work together keeping the engine cool including the water pump, hoses, fan, radiator, expansion tank, thermostat, and heater core. Many of our customers are surprised when one of our expert technicians tells them that their vehicle’s heating system relies on the cooling system to provide heat to the cabin during winter. That’s because the heater core relies on heat from the coolant fluid absorbed from the engine to provide warm cabin air when you need it most. Somewhat counter-intuitive and paradoxical - one of the best ways to support your heating system’s performance is making sure that the cooling system is operating at peak performance.

COOLANT FLUID

At the heart of your engine’s temperature regulation, for both heating and cooling, coolant fluid is the blood of your vehicle. Coolant fluid makes thousands of cycles around the engine passing through the engine block and cylinder heads absorbing heat and carrying it to the radiator where it is released. Over and over, coolant fluid absorbs and dissipates heat as it travels throughout the cooling system where it also encounters unwanted particulates, debris, and water. Coolant fluid ultimately becomes contaminated, and it cannot accomplish its important job like it once did.

What are the Signs of a Faulty Cooling System?

Since the coolant system is responsible for temperature regulation, any problem in the system will show up as a temperature regulation issue with the vehicle. Here are the signs of a faulty cooling system:

Engine Overheats
Check engine light is on
Cooling System or Coolant Fluid service light is on
The heating system is not blowing out hot air as it should
Coolant leaking
The engine is running hotter than normal
