Is your vehicle running
hot? Overheating? Does the engine leak green
fluid from the cooling system? Are the belts due
for replacement? Are the hoses over 4 years old?
Any of these conditions may indicate the need
for service or repairs to your vehicle's engine
cooling system.
At Lead
Foot Linda's, we have certified
technicians who will perform a professional
inspection of the system, providing you with a
complete analysis of the current conditions and
the estimated cost of repair. Lead Foot
Linda's is a full service repair
facility.
Engine Cooling/Radiator Services
The engine cooling system is comprised of many
different components that all must work
correctly for the system to cool the engine
properly. Any one component that fails can
effect the entire system, consequently causing
an engine overheating condition.
Cooling system failure is the number one reason
for automotive breakdown on our nation's
highways. Unlike a flat tire, you can't stop and
put on a spare. A failure of the engine cooling
system will mean a trip to the repair shop
behind a tow truck, which is why it is important
that you have periodic inspections and regular
maintenance of the cooling system.
The key components of the cooling system we
replace or repair are:
Radiator
Radiator cap
Radiator hoses
Radiator
fan/fan clutch
Anti-freeze
Water pump
Thermostat
Fan belts
Serpentine
belt
Cooling sensor
Heater core
Heater hoses
Most vehicle manufacturers
recommend replacement of the anti-freeze every
two years. Unlike many service shops that just
perform a "drain-and-fill", Lead
Foot Linda's provides a complete radiator
flushing service that includes the following:
Inspect system
and pressure test for leaks
Add flush
chemicals to the radiator
Power flush
system through flush machine
Refill system
with proper amount of recycled
anti-freeze
