What Are the Reasons for the Reduction of Car Coolant?
1 Answers
There are several reasons for the reduction of car coolant: 1. Leakage around the water pump; 2. Excessive natural consumption; 3. Leakage at the thermostat; 4. Pressure in the coolant reservoir itself; 5. Damage to the intake manifold gasket or cylinder head gasket; 6. Issues with the oil or cooling system; 7. Leakage from the radiator cap. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold seasons, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. It has four main functions: cooling, anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, and antifreeze. It is an essential medium for the normal operation of the engine.
