Your engine doesn't usually fail all at once - it overheats quietly until it's too late.

In Part 1 of our 3 - part Cooling System Series, we break down why cooling system neglect is the #1 cause of catastrophic engine failure, and why so many vehicles are sent to the scrapyard long before their time.

We cover:

1) Why coolant doesn't last forever( and what happens when it's ignored)

2) The most common cooling system failures mechanics see every day

3) How over hearing causes warped heads, blown head gaskets, and cracked blocks

4) Warning signs drivers miss until the damage is already done

5) Why "just topping it up" is dangerous

This episode lays the foundation - what the cooling system really does, how it fails, and why maintenance matters more than people think.

Tomorrow ( Episode 2 ) : We'll dive deeper into components that fail first - radiators, hoses, water pumps, thermostats, and the warning signs you should never ignore.

Wednesday ( Episode 3 ) : We wrap it all up with real - world prevention strategies, service intervals, and how to protect your engine long - term without wasting money.

If you want your vehicle to last - this series is mandatory listening.
