Close Coolant Service in Hagerstown, MD
Have you noticed issues relating to your engine’s functionality based on the weather outside? It may be unable to regulate its temperature due to a poor supply of coolant. Stop by Sheehy Volkswagen of Hagerstown so that our technicians can assist you!
Purpose
When it comes to managing the temperature of your engine, there are few better liquids adept at doing so than coolant. That is because it is actually a blend of two other fluids, which are water and antifreeze. By blending them together, you create a mixture that is incapable of boiling or freezing under natural conditions. It flows through a series of pipes that enter and exit the engine, allowing it to maintain an equilibrium that facilitates more efficient functioning. This liquid lasts for quite a while, but is subject to potential leaks and lessening quality over time. When this occurs, don’t hesitate to stop by.
Replacement Process
Generally speaking, you should have your coolant exchanged once every two years, or 30,000 miles. This can vary, so be sure to have it checked regularly at our Service Department. You can also take a look at your Owner’s Manual to see a recommended timeframe. When you arrive at our location, our team will get started by verifying if you have low-quality or low-quantity coolant. If the former is the case, often seen in the form of particles invading the liquid, then it will be completely flushed out and replaced. In the event of the latter, our team will search for any potential leaks and patch them. Afterward, you’ll receive a top off so that you can continue your Route 11 rides.
Red Flags
When your coolant is no longer able to support your Taos, Atlas, or Tiguan’s engine to its fullest, it won’t take long for the warning signs to manifest. During a blistering summer, you may find that the engine temperature gauge indicates overheating. Additionally, you may notice that you are getting fewer miles per gallon, often as a result of a powertrain that has to work harder than it normally needs to. If you notice a sweet smell around your vehicle, this strongly indicates a coolant leak has occurred. If you notice this, postpone your next trip to Fairgrounds Park and schedule a service appointment as soon as possible!
