In summer, the problem of engine overheating is most acute. Especially if the car is used, and the driver does not closely monitor its general technical condition. However, serious damage can be prevented with an ordinary cheap inner tube. Read more in the material of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
Boiling the engine becomes an unpleasant surprise for any car owner. If this happened in the city, you can call a tow truck and deal with the reasons in comfortable service conditions. But on the highway this is hardly possible. You need to wait for the car to cool down, top up with fluid, and then take it to the nearest auto repair shop (if the car doesn’t lose its “engine functions”). And worst of all, if it powers a delicate aluminum cylinder head – then a major overhaul is inevitable.
Unfortunately, no one is immune to this. Even if the driver regularly changes the antifreeze, problems can arise. Most often this happens due to the fact that the radiator of the cooling system is heavily clogged with dirt. In addition, it is clogged from the inside, and from the outside it seems clean. The same thing happens with the radiator of the air conditioner, which causes the air conditioner to start malfunctioning.
To quickly and without removing the “coolers” to free them from impurities, thus preventing the engine from overheating on the road, we need an ordinary inner tube. You can use the old fuel, for example. Or buy aluminum – at any hardware store. We focus on about 650mm in length and 8-9mm in diameter. That is, it turns out thin and quite long.
Then you need to drill a dozen holes in the body with a diameter of 2-3 mm. Then with a hammer we flatten the pipe on one side and bend it. Then we connect the structure to the water hose and seal the junction. We connect the water and get some kind of Charcot’s soul. A thin tube allows you to easily get into the most inaccessible places of the engine compartment, and several small jets of water will quickly remove the dirt.
By the way, you can remove impurities from other nodes in this way. Let’s say a piece of clay has stuck to the drive belt roller. It must be removed, as there is a risk that the belt itself will come off this roller.
