Usually, some
common faults occur in the cooling system. Here we know about problems
and what are solutions, we can take for those faults.
Overheating
This may be
caused due to any one or more of the following reasons. However, it must be
borne in mind that overheating is caused not only due to defects in the cooling
system. Rather the same may be caused by many factors completely different. The following reasons are very common:
Reverse flushing is done by circulating water under pressure
in the direction opposite to the normal. A defective hose or faulty connections
may be another source of overheating. Sometimes the engine block may also be
cracked, causing a loss of coolant. A defective water pump reduces the volume of
the cooling water to be circulated and thus may be the cause of overheating. A defective
thermostat that may be sticking in the closed position will not allow the water
to go to the radiator and be cooled there.
Slow warm-up
When the engine takes unduly more time to warm, the defect may be
also due to the thermostat valve being stuck open. It may be removed and
tested.
Noisy water pump
If the water pump is
making too much noise, the reason may be either a defective seal or a defective
bearing. The only remedy is the replacement of the bearing.
