Why Does Coolant Leak Out?
1 Answers
Coolant leaks out due to the following reasons: 1. The internal pressure of the radiator is higher than the external atmospheric pressure; 2. Damage to the radiator, poor sealing of the upper and lower water chambers; 3. Loose connections at the water pump interface and various pipeline joints in the cooling system; 4. Loose cylinder head fastening bolts. The functions of coolant include: 1. Preventing corrosion of metal components and aging of rubber parts; 2. Preventing the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold weather parking; 3. Preventing the engine water temperature from becoming too high, ensuring the engine operates at the proper working temperature; 4. Reducing scale formation to avoid clogging the circulation pipes and affecting the cooling system's heat dissipation function; 5. Providing lubrication for the water pump thermostat and other components.
