Mechanic Debunks Common Car Cooling Myth

Seville Mechanic Debunks Car Cooling Myth: Removing Engine Covers Doesn't Help A common belief among car owners in Seville, Spain, and likely elsewhere, is that removing engine covers during summer improves cooling. Talleres Ebenezer, a local mechanic, challenges this notion in a recent video. "Many people remove these covers thinking it helps the car cool down," Ebenezer explains in his video. "But it doesn't actually improve cooling and only makes the engine dirtier and noisier." Ebenezer's video, which has gained over 8,000 views in less than a day, shows him explaining the car's cooling system design. He emphasizes that the system is already optimized for efficient cooling, and removing the covers offers no benefit. The video's popularity highlights the widespread nature of this misconception. The mechanic's advice is a practical reminder for car owners to avoid unnecessary modifications and focus on proper car maintenance for optimal performance and longevity.
