Common Coolant System Damages
The coolant system is an advanced system that consists of various components, and any malfunction can result in damage across the engine’s components. Here are some of the most common coolant system damages that we encounter at Elite Truck & Fleet Service:
- Leaks: Leaks can occur due to worn-out hoses, damaged water pumps, or faulty radiators.
- Clogs: The buildup of rust, dirt, or other particles can restrict coolant flow.
- Corrosion: Corrosion can cause damage to the radiator, water pump, and other coolant system components due to the use of improper coolant or insufficient maintenance.
- Coolant contamination: Coolant can become contaminated due to a head gasket leak or oil cooler failure, leading to a loss of engine performance.
- Fan clutch failure: A malfunctioning fan clutch can cause the engine to overheat.
- Thermostat failure: A failed thermostat can cause the engine to overheat or run too cool.
- Water pump failure: A failed pump can cause an engine to overheat by failing to circulate coolant through the cooling system.
