t your car has been slow to warm up during these cold mornings. your engine may need a new thermostat This IS a temperature-actuated va ve that controls the flow of cool water trom the radiator to the engine. Its main function: To hold the engine temperature within specified limits, not only tor maXimum efficiency but also for passenger comfort. Replacing this part IS a relatively minor expense that could pay tor itself in short order, A thermostat that's stuck in the open position will allow the engine to run too cold, accelerating wear on critical parts. Cold operation can create condensation water in the crankcase. causing the oil to form sludge, too. Further, a cold engine may burn IO to 20 percent more gas than it should. A thermostat that sticks in the closed position, on the other hand, will restrict coolant flow. causing overheating and ow-Ih 5w.lhnllunt"m _ 't.ltmemr-oe3a_tmtt.ur qMW6rirhdd-rtrmr9raeer-No6trket '4tatrsrr- .1tmrmtttbr.defhmtrr_-hrr-r 32,200 SAVINGS” t * s't?,,0fl,?ll'lelsip omleu-r" may. mmlmmk otrM0htd0-rrre.rseqter.aes Mmruhr'nldmp A Sham LWD GL about alarm-damn Widow Beware slow warmups C1aJz1 CpJzEiii r)ci'1ta-"" 4-wfiiiisl drive Subaru models.

When the pressure cap tails the car may overheat and coolant will be lost to the overflow tank or, on cars without the tank, to the ground. A visual check of the pressure cap may disclose a faulty gasket or a weak spring. The best way to check this cap is with a pressure tester, designed for this purpose. Another valve in the cooling system is the radiator pressure cap. This keeps the cooling system under pressure, thereby increasing the boiling point of the coolant. possible damage to the engine Detensive Driving is jargon that everyone uses, but very few teach the whim 'r'l'rtgti Young Drivers is famous through- out the world or ITS ACCI ENT-F EE DRIVING HABITS often called "survival training.
