Heating Services
1. Prevents Overheating:
Coolant absorbs excess heat from the engine and dissipates it through the radiator. Without adequate coolant, the engine can overheat, potentially causing severe damage to critical components like the head gasket, pistons, or cylinder head.
2. Protects Against Freezing:
Coolant contains antifreeze properties that prevent the liquid from freezing in extremely cold temperatures. Frozen coolant can expand and crack engine parts, leading to costly repairs.
3. Prevents Corrosion:
Coolant contains additives that help protect the engine and cooling system components, such as the radiator and water pump, from rust and corrosion. Without it, metal parts can degrade over time, reducing the efficiency and lifespan of the system
4. Ensures Efficient Operation:
The correct coolant-to-water ratio (usually 50:50) ensures optimal thermal transfer and engine performance. Using the wrong mixture or neglecting coolant maintenance can reduce fuel efficiency and overall engine effectiveness.
