Nissan Driving
  

Regardless of what you think might be going wrong with your vehicle, Crown Nissan of Decatur wants to make sure that you don't put off scheduling service at our dealership. Your car could end up with some pretty involved damage that could be quite expensive if you do. When it comes to an overheating engine, this is never something to ignore. Pull off to the side of the road, and seek assistance as soon as you can.

Servicing Your Cooling System

When it's suspected that your engine is overheating, we will look more intricately at your cooling system to see what could be going wrong. Your cooling system has a few different segments that all work together to maintain a regulated temperature under your hood. Give us some time to thoroughly inspect your radiator, water pump, coolant levels, coolant quality, and a few other things.

What We Look for Within Your Water Pump

The water pump within your cooling system is used mainly to keep coolant flowing through your engine. If the pressure inside that pump can't keep up, you'll find that there isn't enough coolant being utilized to keep temperatures controlled. We will also inspect your water pump's physical integrity, as it can often become corroded with frequent wear and tear.

Radiator Concerns That We Keep in Mind

Radiators are used to radiate heat into the atmosphere. There's a lot of friction going on under your vehicle's hood, and that pressure and heat need to go somewhere. If it builds up over time, this will lead to your engine overheating. We inspect your radiator for signs of wear, damage, and malfunction.

If Your Thermostat is Broken

You can't expect to have your thermostat control your engine bay's temperature if it's not working correctly. The main part within the thermostat is a valve that controls the flow of coolant. We often go right for this part to see if it's stuck open or closed.

Your Nissan must get the attention that it deserves if you're driving along the streets of Decatur and you notice that your engine is starting to get too hot. Get somewhere safe, and call our service department to find out what you should do to proceed. We'll likely have you bring your vehicle into our service department as soon as possible so we can fix the issue.

Nissan R34 Skyline Finally Legal to Import to U.S.

R34 Nissan Skyline Legal to Import to the U.S.The R34 Skyline GT-R from Nissan has been circulating for quite some time, but it never found its way to the shores of the United States. This impressive supercar made its debut in 1998 and remained on the market until 2002, but it was never officially imported or sold here. However, that didn't stop people from dreaming about owning one from the moment it was unveiled. During that era, most models were advertised with 276 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque, but reports suggested that the 1999 R34 Skyline actually packed around 330 horsepower, which was an impressive amount…
