As a vehicle’s engine runs, fuel is transformed into energy which produces a great deal of heat. To prevent the vehicle's motor from burning up, a cooling system has been added to the mix. This mechanism tones down the temperature and keeps it regulated.
Made up of several parts - including the radiator, hoses, thermostat, and water pump - this features contains a mixture of antifreeze (coolant) and water. constantly flowing throughout the system it drops the temperature down to prevent an excessive buildup of heat. If this component is not functioning properly, severe damage can be incurred.
Check your car’s coolant system by performing the following actions:
Drain - Allowing the old fluid to be removed, simple draining will eliminate contaminated liquid and particles.
Check the Thermostat - Aging models will eventually fail. Without a working thermostat, you have no way of knowing how hot the engine is.
Refill - If the component is low on fluid, topping it off could be the solution.
Run a System Analysis - If you did the two things listed above and there is still an issue, you will need to have a mechanic run a total system analysis to identify the source of the problem.

The heart of every vehicle on the road is its engine. Responsible for transforming fuel into energy to move the automobile and provide power to all of the functioning mechanics, the motor is made up of several intricate parts. All of these need to be working in unison to complete the task at hand.
The main components include the block, head, valves, cams, crank, rods, pistons, intake/exhaust systems, and ignition.
First, the block is a large chunk of metal found on the centre section of the engine bay. It has circular holes (cylinder bores) for the piston to move through and several wires and tubes are attached here as well. The head - which is usually crafted from aluminum - is also located here. It houses spark plugs, valves, springs, camshafts, and retainers.
Next, the valves are pieces of the intake and exhaust systems. They look like golf tees, and they serve as doorways for inching fuel/air and outgoing gases. Then, there is the crank. Its job is to move the pistons up and down.
These pistons are secured to a connecting rod that links them to the crankshaft. Finally, the ignition is an electronic component that causes the air/fuel mixture inside the engine to combust.

For every Ford vehicle, there are three main components to a wheel. Although these sets vary in size and style, they all perform the same function. That is enabling the car, truck, van, or SUV to move from one place to another.
The first part of the wheel is the tire. Crafted from strips of rubber, these provide traction and grip of different degrees. This mainly depends on the type of tire you have. These can include all-season (the most popular), performance, off-roading, and more.
Next is the rim. Serving as the skeleton of the wheel, this is what the tire is wrapped around. Base trim levels typically come with steel models, and higher versions are usually crafted out of aluminum or alloy. Different finishes are available including plastic protective covers, shiny chrome, and so much more.
Finally, the hub is the centre cap of the wheel that attaches the rim to the axle, rotors, calipers, and brake pads. In the middle section, you will find five bolts along with lug nuts that keep everything together.

If you have recently purchased a new Ford vehicle, then you may be wondering how to treat it in the beginning. With so many parts working together to reach optimum performance, being gentle with your ride can help lengthen the lifespan of the automobile.
Known as the “break-in periodâ€, you need to adopt certain driving techniques, precautions, and maintenance tasks. Your owner’s manual will have the specifics, but most models will need the first oil change after 80 to 804 km (50 to 500 miles). After that, you can adjust this to 8,046 km (5,000 miles).
Another tip is to keep the revs under 3,000 rpm. This is mainly due to the piston rings. They need to interlock with the cylinder bores to prevent oil leaks. By revving the motor too much, you can mess up the syncing process.
Finally, the last maintenance tip for your new Ford is to keep your average speed between 48 and 80 km/h *30 to 50 mph). While this step may be easy to forget, especially if you just purchased a racetrack legend like the Ford Mustang, it allows the mechanisms to pair with each other without difficulty.

No matter how old your vehicle is, regulating checking your wheels and tires can save you a lot of money down the road. An imbalance can cause your car to overturn at high speeds, so making it a priority is a must.
First, you need to check the air pressure. Under-inflated tires can lead to poor fuel efficiency, rough handling, and even a blow-out. The owner’s manual will tell you what the safe range should be.
Next, you should take a peek at the tread depth. This is the imprinted pattern on the tires that leaves marks in the mud. Worn down tread can reduce the overall traction, which can cause issues when stopping or traveling over various types of terrain. You also need to look for any tears, cracks, bulges, or wedged objects.
As for other maintenance, rotations and alignments should be performed every 8,046 to 12,847 km (5,000 to 8,000 miles). Never overload the vehicle with too much weight, and replace any worn-down tires immediately. Your set should always be matching, and the spare should also be inspected regularly.
If you’ve ever had a warning light suddenly turn on in your vehicle, then you are already familiar with the slight panic that can follow when you don’t know what it means. Luckily, figuring out the issue doesn’t have to be difficult.
The most common indicator is the Service Engine Light. This is usually a sign that it is time to change the oil or perform routine maintenance. Another is the Check Engine Light. This one typically means that a malfunction is occurring. An OBD2 scanner is needed to figure out what the main issue is. Your local mechanic can help with this.
Next, the Brake Warning switches on if the fluid is low or the pads are worn down. It may also be activated whenever you have the parking brake engaged. Please see your owner’s manual for more information on it.
Other illuminations you need to pay attention to include the following:
Coolant - If this light is on, you should pull over immediately. Wait for the car to cool off before removing the radiator cap.
ABS - If you’re seeing this flashing light, the Anti-Lock Braking System may have a problem.
Oil - Blockages and a faulty oil pump can cause the oil levels to decrease.
Electrical - This indicates issues with the charging system. In many cases, it is the alternator.
