Require a cooling system flush?
To prevent the vehicle from overheating; the cooling system works by circulating the mixture of water and coolant through the engine. As time passes, the cooling system components can become be clogged and damaged by scale and rust that can build up in the deteriorated coolant.
Indication you need a coolant flush are:
- The Check Engine warning light is on
- The Low Coolant warning light is on
- The engine is overheating
We recommend:
- If your vehicle’s low coolant light comes on, let us do a deep inspection for leaks.
- Also recommended; is following the service maintenance schedule and replace the fluid. A good practice is every 65,000 km. This an important part of preventative maintenance for your vehicle.
4 basic categories summarize air conditioning problems
- Refrigerant issues: Lack of refrigerant, too much refrigerant, wrong product, lack of adequate compression or a refrigerant control device issue.
- Electric problems: AC clutch coil, clutch relay, high-pressure cut-off switch, low-pressure cut-off switch or circuit protection device.
- Electrical problems in the dash: AC switch or blower motor not working, the computer control head or module going bad or issues with the blend door command motor or heater resistor.
- Mechanical problems in the dash: door being physically broken (prevents it from forcing air across the evaporator or heater core), mode door being broken (which prevents it from forcing air though the vents) or the recirculation door being broken and falling into blower motor.
