Cooling System Replacement

At its core, your vehicle’s cooling system actively carries heat away from your engine and helps maintain a suitable operating temperature. To do this, it pumps antifreeze and coolants through the engine and back into the radiator to be cooled again. If you’re experiencing any of the “common systems of cooling system failure” below, it’s important to schedule an appointment as soon as possible to avoid overheating, and more complicated engine problems.

4 Common Symptoms of Cooling System Problems

• Overheating
• Leaks
• A “sweet” smell, often attributed to antifreeze
• The need to frequently add more coolant

When driving in the cold temperatures we experience in New Hampshire and Maine, it isn’t uncommon for your engine to work harder in order to do its job. Because of this, it’s vital to ensure that your cooling system is working properly.

There are a number of important parts that make up your cooling system. To keep your engine cool and running properly, it’s important to keep them all in good working order. Fortunately – Stratham Tire’s experienced technicians are experienced when it comes to inspecting all of them.

• Do not disregard cooling system problems. This can lead to severe engine damage.
• Your cooling system should be “flushed” every 30,000 to 50,000 miles (or about every 2 years)
• Stratham Tire technicians will check your coolant during every oil change.
