This liquid is a mixture of water and antifreeze, and it is absolutely necessary. Read on to learn more about how the complex system works: Radiator - This part cools off the antifreeze solution by allowing air to pass through the tube to dissipate the heat from the motor. Water Pump - The pump pulls the cooled antifreeze from the radiator and moves it to the engine block, cylinder head, heater core, and eventually back to the radiator. Head Gasket - This seals up the critical parts of the engine. It prevents motor oil and coolant from mixing with each other. Heater Core - It allows heat to reach the cabin when you need it. It utilizes the heat from the antifreeze blown in by the blower. Thermostat - This piece keeps track of the engine temperature. It is closed when the motor is cold to warm i ... read more
