Your engine produces a lot of heat while powering your vehicle—and if that heat isn’t properly managed, it can lead to serious and expensive damage. That’s where your engine cooling system comes in. From maintaining optimal performance to preventing overheating, this system plays a vital role in extending the life of your vehicle. At Progressive Automotive in Regina, we specialize in diagnosing and maintaining cooling systems so you can drive with peace of mind.
The cooling system relies on three key components working together: coolant, hoses, and the radiator.
● Coolant: This heat-absorbing fluid keeps your engine at the right temperature. Low or diluted coolant can’t effectively manage heat, increasing wear and risking overheating. Regular checks and top-ups are essential.● Hoses: These flexible lines transport coolant through the engine. Over time, rubber hoses degrade from the inside out due to vibration, pressure, and chemical wear—especially if coolant concentration is too high. Replacing worn hoses early prevents leaks and bigger problems.● Radiator: Acting as the system’s heat exchanger, your radiator disperses heat absorbed by the coolant. It pulls that heat away from engine parts and vents it out through the engine bay. A blocked or damaged radiator won’t do its job properly and can cause engine overheating.
Routine inspections and fluid maintenance are the best ways to keep your cooling system healthy—and your engine protected.
