About our cooling and heating parts

Your car’s heating and cooling systems are important factors in having a comfortable ride all year round, but especially in extremely hot or cold conditions.

Car Cooling System

Car Cooling and Heating FAQs

How long should a car cooling fan stay on?

It depends on the situation. Sometimes it runs for a few minutes after you turn the engine off, especially if the car was hot. That’s normal. If it stays on for a long time every time, then it’s probably worth getting checked.

What does the cooling fan do in a car?

It helps keep the engine temperature under control. When things start to get too warm, the fan kicks in and cools the radiator so the engine doesn’t overheat.

Why does a car heater fan make noise?

Usually it’s something simple. Could be dust or debris stuck in it, or the fan motor starting to wear out. Sometimes it’s just a loose part. If the noise gets worse, it’s better to have a look at it.

Does using the heater in a car use coolant?

It doesn’t use it up, but it does rely on it. The heater uses the heat from the engine coolant to warm the air. So if the coolant level is low, the heater might not work properly.
