Basic Cooling System Theory

If you actually sit down and think about it, the Internal Combustion engine is an extremely inefficient way to provide the power for a car. The majority of the energy provided by the fuel provides heat and this is wasted. If this isn’t removed quickly then this causes the engine to become so hot that the parts melt!

If you look carefully and ask around a fair bit then flat glass can be found from any antique or specialist auto glass shop. A good source of these can be found in your yellow pages.

Diagnosing Problems in the cooling system

Check the thermostat – The Thermostat is a frequent cause of overheating. If the problem caused is sudden and severe, this could well be the root cause.

Diagnosing Problems in the cooling system

Check the thermostat – The Thermostat is a frequent cause of overheating. If the problem caused is sudden and severe, this could well be the root cause.

Check the circulation – This is another on the list of frequent contributors to overheating. If the thermostat doesn't stop things up, your water pump might.

Give the correct mixture – If you have incorrect water to antifreeze mixtures this can cause your engine to overheat. A mixture that is low on anti-freeze is often the culprit when the overheating is consistent.

Check for Slippage - Drive belts around the water pump can be another source of problems. Even slight amount of slippage in this area can lead to an engine overheating on long trips and at high speeds.

Look for Leaks – We do not wish to state the obvious, but look for any obvious leaks. Tell tale puddles beneath your car are a sure sign something's awry. Check that all your hose clamps are tight and replace damaged or leaking hoses right away

Check your radiator cap - If you have the tools to check it, make sure your radiator cap is holding pressure. At lower pressures the boil temperature is also lower causing your car to overheat more quickly.

Check for internal leaking - If you are able, check your system using a cylinder pressurizing tool. If air leaks through you can be sure your coolant will as well.

Check Your Hoses - older hoses sometimes collapse from suction and can inhibit flow at higher speeds.
