Cool Running In Pewaukee

Unless you live in Death Valley, you really don’t hear much any more about cars overheating. That’s because cooling systems in vehicles have been much improved. That doesn’t mean you can’t overheat your Sedan engine, though. Without proper preventive maintenance, you could still find yourself on the side of the expressway in Pewaukee waiting for your Sedan engine to cool down.

When you service your cooling system at Nelsons Automotive of Pewaukee, your tech will check the condition of the coolant. It can become corrosive over time, which can damage a radiator — leading to an overheated engine. Changing the coolant periodically is good car care. Your Sedan owner’s manual can give you guidelines on how often to replace it.

If your engine overheated, your Friendly and professional service specialist will also check your coolant system for leaks. Check the Sedan radiator for cracks and the radiator hoses for leaks. He’ll also check your water pump. They don’t need to be replaced on a regular schedule, but they do need an inspection regularly. They can and do wear out.

The water pump is a critical component of your Sedan cooling system. It pumps the coolant to keep it circulating through the engine. The coolant is cooled in the radiator, then it travels through the engine, where it absorbs heat, then it returns to the radiator, where it releases the heat. And so on. But a water pump is something of a misnomer. The fluid pumped through your Sedan cooling system is not just water. It also contains coolant, which is actually poisonous. You should never consider your radiator as an emergency water supply.
