When you make a quick trip to the grocery store or to pick
up the kids at school have you noticed that your car is taking longer to heat
up? The method used to warm a car's
cabin isn't a whole lot different from the one used to keep its engine cool. In fact, it's all hooked together and runs on
the same circuit. A much smaller
radiator called the heater core uses the same hot coolant to keep the cabin
warm, but this time of year you want it to warm up instantly.
When your vehicle’s thermostat begins to wear out it either
remains stuck open or it can close entirely.
If the thermostat is worn out it might be preventing the coolant from
getting warm enough to heat the cabin.
There may also be sediment accumulating on the heater core. A flush may be required to eliminate that
gunk.
No one wants to drive around the Kansas City area shivering
this winter. At the first sign of
diminished performance from your vehicle’s heating system drive in to Able Auto
Service located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS. If need be give them a call for an appointment
on their toll free number at (877) 716-0776.
