Radiator Maintenance and Periodic


        There are some things that most often lead to leaks in the radiator. Namely: corrosion (rust), impact (either due to collision or due to hit the radiator fan switch). Especially for the fiber material, other causes are the heat and pressure of the water radiator. Due to these causes, it may be voids or gaps formed in the plate-plate (fiber) radiator where water seeps out. Because leaking radiator, cooling system not working properly. As a result, the engine temperature was not controlled and there was overheating when the engine continues to be forced to work without cooling. 

 We would have memorized when the engine is overheating. Because excess heat tolerance, the engine may not sound normal, less powerful, wasteful of fuel, and even broke down while driving in the middle of the road. Too bad, right? Before having such problems, anticipate the occurrence of leaks in the radiator. Prevention can be done by treating the cooling system. For this, there are a few tips that we recommend: 1. Perform regular checks on water radiator reserve tank. If the water level in the reserve tank is under the MIN line, add immediately. If it looks dirty and looks cloudy, drain and replace with a new radiator water. 2. Use a special radiator fluid when filling the radiator (coolant). In addition to helping the cooling process, in the fluid also contained a substance that can reduce corrosion on the radiator and engine.  

Corrosion and dirt on the cooling water is not good because it can interfere with the cooling process. We recommend using water glycol coolant manifold ethlylene high quality. 3. Clean the radiator grille with a spray water on the radiator fins. 4. Check for possible leaks in both hoses and radiator. Hose leakage can be monitored manually by looking at the presence or absence of droplets. But, to check for leaks in the radiator must use special tools (shh or special service tools). Radiator motor will be checked with the tool when it comes to the workshops. 5. Condition of the radiator and cooling system performance will be more awake if you routinely perform periodic servicing.
