At Auto Spot, we perform a
Complete Coolant System Fluid Service to remove virtually
all of the old coolant and contaminants in your radiator
and replace it with new coolant keeping your cooling
system working properly to protect your vehicle for years
to come.
Our Coolant System Flush Service
Includes:
-
Inspection of your radiator
system
-
Pressure test for any leaks
-
Adding flush chemicals to the radiator
-
Power flushing the system
-
Refilling radiator system with recycled anti-freeze
-
Adding sealant / lubricant to the system
- If a slow leak cannot be detected, a dye detection
service may need to be performed
Your engine constantly burns fuel, with temperatures
inside the combustion chamber reaching 4,500°F. The
cooling system protects your engine by moving this
potentially harmful heat to the outside air. To do
this, a mixture of water and antifreeze circulates
through your engine.
This coolant absorbs heat from the engine and is
flowed by the water pump through hoses to the
radiator. Once the radiator transfers engine heat to
the outside air, the coolant circulates back to the
engine and continues the cycle.
To keep this important system properly working,
vehicle manufacturers recommend servicing it at
specified time or mileage intervals. The coolant’s
rust inhibitors and additives may lose their
anti-corrosive properties, leaving particles and
debris in the system over time.
This can cause build-up within the radiator, reducing
its ability to keep the engine running at the optimal
temperature. To remove this build-up, we perform a
radiator flush service. By Doing a radiator flush we
remove all the old coolant and gunk and built-up that
there might be. Once the whole cooling system is
empty, we fill it back up with new radiator coolant
and water.
Radiator Hoses
Radiator hoses should be inspected at least twice a
year. Hose clamp connections should also be checked to
ensure that they're secure and free from leaks.
Although hose condition has historically been
determined from the outside of the hose, research
shows that hoses really begin to break down from the
inside out.
This process, called electrochemical degradation
(ECD), generates fine cracks in the wall of the hose
tube. These fine cracks extend from inside the hose
tube to the outside, close to one or both ends of the
hose.
Coolant can then seep through these cracks and attack
the hose reinforcement. Eventually the condition
worsens to a pinhole leak or a burst hose. Coolant
hoses should be replaced at least every four years, or
more often as needed.
It's also a good idea to change any hoses that connect
to a part of the cooling system that's being replaced.
For example, it's wise to replace both of the radiator
hoses when replacing the radiato
