A car's cooling system is vital to the engine's stability. It helps prevent excessive heat build-up that may affect other engine components and the general vehicle operation. A faulty system may lead to an overheated engine or the vehicle failing to start! You can avoid that eventuality by understanding your vehicle's cooling mechanism. How Does a Cooling System Operate? The internal combustion engine runs courtesy of burning fuel and various moving parts. That's because burning fuel and the friction from the moving parts generate large amounts of heat to propel it. That heat may build up and lead to an overheated engine that won't start. A vehicle's cooling system channels the excess heat from the engine to the surrounding atmosphere. However, a malfunctioning system won't facilitate heat dissipation, leading to engine failure.
