How to Determine if a Car Radiator Cap is Broken?
1 Answers
Reduced circulation capacity, water leakage, or abnormal noises can all indicate a damaged radiator cap. Here are the relevant details: 1. Car Radiator: The car radiator is mainly composed of the radiator core, water pipes, cooling air fins, upper water tank, and lower water tank. The upper water tank is located on the radiator, connected to the lower water tank via water pipes. Hot water flows from the upper to the lower tank, cooling down in the process. 2. Water Leakage Issue: Water leakage is relatively easy to detect. Minor leaks leave traces on the water pump vent, while major leaks can be directly observed through water temperature and the ground under the chassis.
