Well... this takes me back to 1973 when I was an apprentice... OLD cars didn't have water pumps so they relied on convection to cool the water in the radiators. They had to be tall and worked on the principal that hot water rises and colder water falls. The header tank {on top of the radiator} was higher than the engine and as the water went around the engine it heated up, then it entered the radiator and fell to the bottom, all the time being cooled by the air passing through the radiator. As technology improved, water pumps were installed so bonnet lines could be lowered making a more streamlined shape. Look at Chitty Chitty Bang Bang compared with a porch 911 to see what I mean.

Why does the cooling system kick in after a few miles on my peugeot 306?
If by cooling system you mean the cooling fan, it takes a while for the coolant temperature to rise enough to trigger the temperature sensor that activates the fan. This is to help warm up the engine and to avoid unnecessary operation of the cooling fan when it is not needed.
Why does the engine overheat when you turn the vent fan on?
When you turn the vent fan on in a vehicle, it can sometimes cause the engine to overheat due to increased load on the engine’s cooling system. The fan draws power from the engine, which may lead to reduced efficiency, particularly if the cooling system is already compromised or if the radiator fan is not functioning properly. Additionally, if the ventilation system is not allowing proper airflow or if the coolant levels are low, it can exacerbate heating issues. Regular maintenance of the cooling system can help prevent such overheating problems.
What turns cooling fans on on 2000 focus?
In a 2000 Ford Focus, the cooling fans are activated primarily by the engine's temperature. When the engine reaches a specific temperature threshold, the engine control module (ECM) sends a signal to the cooling fan relay to turn the fans on. Additionally, the air conditioning system can also trigger the fans to run when the A/C is activated, regardless of the engine temperature, to help maintain optimal cooling.
Does burping the cooling system help to have heat?
No!
Why do you use antifreeze?
To prevent the coolant freezing, to help keep the system clean and prevent corrosion and to make the coolant more efficient in cooling the engine.
How does zerex super flush work?
Zerex Super Flush is a radiator and engine cleaner designed to remove contaminants, sludge, and deposits from the cooling system. It works by circulating through the engine and radiator when mixed with water, breaking down buildup and allowing it to be flushed out during a subsequent coolant change. This helps improve engine efficiency and cooling performance, ultimately prolonging the life of the engine and its components. Regular use can help maintain optimal cooling system function.
What is the cooling system designed for?
to help cool the engine.oil does alot of the cooling,but not all.its also the source of your car heaters heat.its a mini radiator that coolant from your engine flows through,heats up and a fan blows that into your cabin.
Is the oil used in the engine on suzuki c90 also the cooling oil?
Yes, the C90 is an air cooled engine, the oil that runs through the little radiator is crankcase oil and is cooled in the system to help keep the engine temp down.
How do you get the airlock out of the cooling system?
To remove airlocks from a cooling system, start by ensuring the engine is cold and the radiator cap is off. Run the engine with the heater set to maximum to allow coolant to circulate, and periodically squeeze the upper radiator hose to help dislodge trapped air. If necessary, use a vacuum filler tool to help evacuate air from the system. Finally, check the coolant level and top off as needed to ensure proper circulation.
What is a Relay - Radiator Cooling Fan Motor?
A relay for a radiator cooling fan motor is an electrical component that acts as a switch, controlling the operation of the cooling fan in a vehicle's radiator system. When the engine reaches a certain temperature, the thermostat sends a signal to the relay, which then activates the fan motor to help dissipate heat and maintain optimal engine temperature. This ensures efficient cooling and prevents overheating. If the relay fails, the cooling fan may not operate, leading to potential engine damage.
What damage can antifreeze prevent on a engine cooling system?
Antifreeze, or coolant, plays a crucial role in preventing damage to an engine cooling system by lowering the freezing point of the coolant, thus preventing ice formation in cold temperatures. It also raises the boiling point, reducing the risk of overheating in high temperatures. Additionally, antifreeze contains additives that help prevent corrosion and scale buildup within the cooling system, which can lead to blockages and decreased efficiency. Overall, proper use of antifreeze ensures optimal engine performance and longevity.
Name the components in the cooling system?
The main components of a cooling system typically include a coolant reservoir, radiator, water pump, thermostat, and cooling fans. The coolant reservoir stores the coolant fluid, while the radiator dissipates heat from the engine. The water pump circulates the coolant throughout the system, and the thermostat regulates the coolant flow based on temperature. Cooling fans help to enhance airflow through the radiator, particularly at lower speeds.
