How does a cooling system of an automobile works? |
|
Answer» A cooling system works by sending a liquid coolant through passages in the engine block and heads. As the coolant flows through these passages, it picks up heat from the engine. The heated fluid then makes its way through a rubber hose to the radiator in front of the car. As it flows through the thin tubes in the radiator, the hot liquid is cooled by the air stream entering the engine compartment from the grill in front of the car. Once the fluid is cooled, it returns to the engine to absorb more heat. The water pump has the job of keeping the fluid moving through this system of plumbing and hidden passages. A thermostat is placed between the engine and the radiator to make sure that the coolant stays above a certain preset temperature. If the coolant temperature falls below this temperature, the thermostat blocks the coolant flow to the radiator, forcing the fluid instead through a bypass directly back to the engine. The coolant will continue to circulate like this until it reaches the design temperature, at which point, the thermostat will open a valve and allow the coolant back through the radiator |

How is the engine oil changed? Write the different steps in sequence. |
|
Answer» 1. Prepare your car The car should be on a level surface with the parking brake on and engine off, leaving the oil to cool for a few minutes. 2. Unscrew the oil cap Locate the oil cap (check with the manual to locate it) and unscrew it. This is very important, as a vacuum will not allow all the oil to drain out. 3. Locate the oil drain plug Get underneath the car and locate the oil drain plug. This is a lone bolt at the bottom of the oil sump. 4. Place the container Place a container big enough to hold the oil beneath the oil drain plug and unscrew the plug, being careful not to let it fall into the container. 5. Drain out the old oil Allow all the oil to drain out. This can take several minutes. 6. Locate the oil filter Locate the old oil filter with the help of your car’s service manual. It should be identical to the one you are replacing it with. 7. Remove the old oil filter Turn the filter wrench anti-clockwise to loosen the oil filter. The filter may be full of oil so take care not to spill any. 8. Prepare the new filter Clean up the filter seat on the engine and place a light coating of oil on the gasket of the new filter. 9. Install the new filter Carefully screw the new filter into place by hand, making sure it is not overtight. Screw back in the oil drain plug and tighten it with the wrench. 10. Fill up with oil Using the funnel, carefully fill the engine oil, avoiding spillages. Measure the oil level with the dipstick after every two litres filled. 11. Check the level is correct When oil has reached the correct level, replace the oil cap. Turn on the engine for ten minutes and then off again. Check the oil level with the dipstick once again - if the level is low, add more oil. 12. Clean up Clean up all oil spillages on your engine and check for any leaks from the drain plug. 13. Properly dispose of the old oil and filter Used oil is highly toxic and must never be disposed off with domestic waste. It's illegal to pour used oil into the sewage network. Put the used oil in a sealed container and label it. Then take it to an auto repair centre, service station or recycling centre. Most places will accept used oil for free. |
