Components

The cooling & hvac consists of: radiator, water pump, thermostat, coolant hoses, expansion tank, coolant temperature sensor, cooling fan, heater matrix, cabin air filter, AC compressor, AC condenser.

Petrol & diesel vehicles

Cooling systems are fundamentally the same across petrol and diesel engines. Diesel engines typically run at slightly lower temperatures.

Hybrid & electric vehicles

Electric vehicles still have a cooling system — for the battery pack and electric motor. Battery thermal management is critical for EV longevity. Some EVs use heat pumps for cabin heating instead of a heater matrix.
