5 Ways Summer Heat Can Impact You Vehicle
Although the Lower Mainland isn’t known for significant heat waves – they do happen. Such summer heat can have an impact on your vehicle, which we can help you mitigate.
Here are some key areas where warm weather can impact your vehicle:
- Engine Cooling System
Regardless of the season, your engine can overheat if the cooling system is not functioning correctly. Add in warm weather, and it can put added stress on aa vehicle’s radiator, coolant, and hoses.
2. Belts and Hoses
High temperatures can also cause the rubber in belts and hoses to wear more quickly – potentially leading to cracks, which can also lead to breakdowns.
3. Air Conditioning System
Your vehicle’s air conditioning system has to work harder in the heat. This can lead to added wear and potential failure of components.
As discussed on our service page…
Preventative maintenance is as important for your car’s air conditioner as it is for your home’s air conditioner. They both require regular service to avoid problems and consistently work properly. Your car’s air conditioner needs to be tested on an annual basis to detect and repair damaged components before they become costly problems.
4. Oil and Fluids
Engine oil thins out when sitting in the heat, reducing its effectiveness in lubricating engine components. Other fluids, such as transmission fluid and brake fluid, can also be affected.
5. Battery Performance
A fairly unknown fact, is that heat accelerates the chemical reactions inside your car battery. This can lead to overcharging and decreased battery life.
Keeping your battery clean is one way to help with this, along with having the fluid levels checked if it’s not a maintenance-free battery.
The good news? Hudson Auto is here to help with all of the above, keeping your car running smoothly throughout the summer months!
