There are many parts of a vehicle’s cooling system. Each of these parts plays an important role in helping the overall functioning of the heating and cooling system. Each works in sync with the others to keep your vehicle’s engine cool and running smoothly.
The main fluid responsible for this cooling process is the antifreeze. It is released whenever the thermostat under the hood detects that the engine is getting too hot. This begins the process whereby the antifreeze makes its way throughout the various parts it needs to cool until eventually arriving to the radiator where it is cooled off again, thus getting rid of the heat produced during driving.

- The interior of your vehicle does not warm up, even after being on for a few minutes.
- Your airflow seems reduced.
- Coolant/antifreeze leaking underneath the car. Looks like a bright yellow or green fluid.
- High temperatures reported by the car’s thermostat or overheating.
