Do Anti-roll bars prevent your car from rolling over?

As from the name, Yes, Anti-roll bars do prevent your car from rolling over. Anti-roll bars prevent your car from rolling sideways. Those who don’t know what anti-roll bars are, need not fear because they are nothing more than a bar or a rod. Yes, a single rod is used to prevent your car from

THERMOSTAT

Thermostat is a temperature sensitive device. It places between the engine and the radiator. The purpose of the thermostat is to maintain optimum temperature of the engine to draw maximum efficiency of the system.  How will it work is, it blocks the flow of coolant to the radiator till engine gets enough warm. When the

Coolant reservoir 

It’s also called as radiator overflow tank. It collects the expanding coolant that’s heated by the engine and and resend it to the cooling system when it looses enough heat. As the engine coolant heats up, it expands and build pressure. When the pressure exceeds a optimum level, the excess coolant is transferred into the

RADIATOR FAN And WATER PUMP

Why do we need a fan!!?, Here’s the answer The RADIATOR needs a constant flow of air through its core to cool it adequately. However it happens when the car is in motion but when it’s stationary a fan is used to help the airflow which would be driven by engine power. When the engine

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP

Many people find the radiator pressure cap on their vehicle but don’t know the purpose of it. Many think that cap was for more than just show. In fact it plays an important role in a pressurized cooling system. When you set the vehicle into motion the temperature of the engine increases. We know that

Confusion of Chassis and Frame

You must have heard car technicians using the term Chasis or vehicle Frame many times but for a common car driver or a non-car guy, it is difficult to make difference between both. This confusion has arisen due to a large change in the built of cars coming up in the market in a very

LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

So far we talked about air cooling system: How it works, components of it, why do we need fins.., In this post we will talk about liquid cooling system almost every automobile using. Before get into working I wanna let you know all the components of liquid cooling system.  Liquid cooling system:  A liquid (coolant)
