Nissan Cooling System Service Near Natchez

As you drive around Natchez, McComb, or Vidalia this summer, you are sure to appreciate that the air conditioning in your vehicle is functioning correctly. Without that cool, refreshing air, you would be miserable. In this climate, AC is not really a luxury as much as it is a necessity of life. However, you should also be aware that the same heat that makes you miserable can be taking a toll on your vehicle. The increased air temperature means the cooling system in your car is being pushed to its limits to ensure all the moving parts in the engine are kept at a temperature that does not cause engine damage.

Don’t Let the Heat Slow You Down

Imagine a hot summer day when you are unable to enjoy any air conditioning. You will become increasingly uncomfortable and begin to move more slowly, until you must struggle to move at all. That is the same issue you will face with your vehicle: if the cooling system is not functioning correctly, it cannot keep the vital components cool enough to propel your vehicle properly. If you are concerned about the health of your car's cooling system, please know that the skilled technicians in the Natchez Nissan service department are here to help with an inspection and cooling system service to ensure the reliability of your vehicle throughout the year.

What Is In An Automobile Cooling System?

When you think of a cooling system for a vehicle, you might imagine a fan and a few hoses that contain coolant. But the function and parts in the system do not sound too complex. While that is true on a very basic level, there are a number of items in a cooling system that need to function in unison to ensure the motor remains at a safe temperature and continues to function correctly. When you stop by the Natchez Nissan service center for a cooling system inspection or service, our pros will inspect each part in the cooling system, which includes the following:

  • Radiator
  • Water pump
  • Thermostat
  • Heater cil
  • Control valve
  • Head gasket
  • Fans
  • Belts
  • Hoses

The inspection process enables our technicians to identify any signs of damage or excessive wear, such as leaks, cracks, or damage to the system's consumable parts and components. Next, the technician checks the system pressure to ensure it meets the manufacturer's specifications. Once these processes are completed, the old coolant can be flushed and replaced if it is old and past its life expectancy. After flushing and disposing of the old coolant, new coolant is installed in the system in the amount specified by the manufacturer. If any additional damage to the system is discovered, the service technician will document this information, and you will be contacted to verbally approve the repairs or acknowledge that you decline the repairs. In this case, our team will return the vehicle to you.

When To Seek Cooling System Service

Your vehicle's owner's manual will define the average time limit between coolant system inspections and service. Alternatively, the staff at Natchez Nissan's service department can provide the information based on the manufacturer's recommendations. However, as a vehicle ages, it can provide indications that there is an issue with the cooling system, and you may need to visit Natchez Nissan for immediate cooling system service. These signs of a problem include:

  • The engine is overheating
  • The engine temperature gauge on the dashboard is showing a high temperature, or the high-temp warning light is illuminated on the dashboard
  • You see antifreeze pooled on your driveway where the vehicle had been parked, or you smell a sweet odor much like maple syrup because the leaking antifreeze is burning

If you encounter any of these issues, please get in touch with the service department at Natchez Nissan for immediate coolant system service to protect the longevity of your vehicle's engine.
