The OE designed expansion tank system can fail over time, leaking coolant and increasing the risk of over-heating. The thermostat located on the oil cooler is often damaged while removing the expansion tank. TechSmart Expansion Tank Service Kits provide the expansion tank, oil cooler thermostat and coolant level sensor to replace the damaged unit and restore the vehicle’s proper cooling functions.            

“We currently offer 25 premium TechSmart expansion tank service kits for the most popular European applications,” said Phil Hutchens, vice president engine management marketing, SMP. “These kits contain everything a technician will need to do the job right.”

Tech Sessions are designed to help professional technicians find new and better ways to solve their automotive repair issues. Videos are also available for TechSmart electronic throttle bodies, PMD relocation kit, steering column shift tubes, air door actuators and the VVT chain tensioner.

The TechSmart line of enhanced engine control parts are designed to meet the needs of today’s professional service technicians by providing them with high-quality, hard-to-find, problem-solving parts featuring new categories and new technology that they can trust.

Toyota’s original Land Cruiser was the company’s version of a Jeep that could go anywhere. In its time it was highly rated and collected, which led the Japanese juggernaut to bring back an updated SUV in 2007 called the FJ Cruiser. The retro-styled vehicle was again a go anywhere machine powered by a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) used in the Tacoma. The engines are durable and considered relatively robust for the time.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
