Best Answer

It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator.

Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.

The thermostat for the cooling system can be found on the front of the engine. You can follow the bottom radiator hose to the thermostat housing. The thermostat will be within the thermostat housing.


What causes a water sloshing sound in the engine bay of a 2000 Impreza?

Hi, this is a common problem with subaru's - you need to get the cooling system pressure bled - i.e there is air in your cooling system.


What is the purpose of the bypass hose?

I will assume that is in an automobile. A bypass hose goes around the thermostat in your cooling system to allow some coolant to flow whenever the engine is running. This prevents to much pressure to be built up in the system, allows for even cooling at start up and even gives you a slight amount of heat when you start the engine. Your heater core is often part of the bypass system in a car. When the engine's thermometer opens the flow of coolant in the car increases this cooling the engine. As the engine cools the thermostat closes slightly and increases the flow through the core and bypass hose.


Can you use tap water as engine coolant in a citreon c3?

No. Ordinary tap water will not protect against freezing or corrosion of the cooling system. If you are diluting antifreeze concentrate (rather than using pre-mixed), only use distilled water in the mix and combine the quantities according to the concentrate instructions. The impurities in tap water will damage the engine and cooling system in time, where as the anti corrosion and anti freeze properties of an OAT antifreeze will enable the cooling system to function for 1000s of KMs


How do you bleed the air out of the heat system in a truck?

Set the heater control to hot. Now start the engine with the radiator cap off. Run the engine until you see no more air bubbles escaping from the radiator. If the engine has bleeder valves on the cooling system use them to remove trapped air.

Where does coolant go?

It prevents the liquid within the engine from freezing or boiling. Coolant does just what the name implies. It keeps the engine cool, meaning it keeps the engine at the correct operating temperature. It also prevents corrosion within the engine and cooling system.

Can low engine oil effect the cooling system?

Low engine oil can effect the cooling system as it creates additional friction which may be difficult for the cooling system to remove. The oil is designed to both lubricate and cool the internal components.
