Mercedes Benz was formed through the merging of two companies namely the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) and Benz & Cie in June 28, 1926. DMG was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and design partner Wilhelm Maybach in 1890 while Benz & Cie was founded by Karl Benz.

Basing from its history, it is interesting to note that Karl Benz, one of the founders of Mercedes Benz, was the one who first invented the first automobile water radiator.The Mercedes Benz radiator is a part of your car’s cooling system. To keep the engine from overheating is the primary job of the cooling system and it does this by transferring heat to the air since 70% of the energy in the gasoline is converted into heat. Since it keeps your car from overheating, The Mercedes Benz radiator therefore plays a very important role in all internal combustion engines. It is connected to several channels running through the engine and cylinder head, through which a liquid which is usually a mixture of water with ethylene glycol and is called anti-freeze is usually pumped through. This liquid flows through a thermostat and back again to the radiator. Through this process, heat is conducted away from the engine parts, making the vehicle safe from overheating.The Mercedes Benz radiator is a type of heat exchanger. It is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant that flows through it to the air blown through it by the fan. Nowadays, most of the modern cars use aluminum radiators. These radiators are made by brazing thin aluminum fins to flattened aluminum tubes. The coolant flows from the inlet to the outlet through many tubes mounted in a parallel arrangement. The fins conduct the heat from the tubes and transfer it to the air flowing through the radiator. The Mercedes radiator is commonly mounted behind the car’s grille. This is done to make sure that the fluid stays inside and also because cold air is driven through it in this location. There is also a system of valves installed to simultaneously operate a small radiator called the heater core inside the car. This small radiator serves to warm the vehicle’s interior cabin.The size of the radiator is also taken into consideration in such a way that it can keep the engine at the design temperature under the most extreme conditions a car is likely to encounter. The Mercedes Benz radiator should be checked-up regularly to maintain optimum performance. What could go wrong with it if not maintained properly? First of all, your radiator might overheat. A leaking radiator might be another problem. It is therefore important to check if the radiator is filled with water. When it does overheat and you’re in the middle of the road, don’t panic. First, pull over and stop. Turn of your air conditioning to reduce engine temperature and you can also turn on your car’s heater and set in on the highest temperature setting. Open the hood of your car and let the engine cool off. Check the overflow tank coolant level but be very careful since serious burns can occur because of extreme heat. If it’s empty, then the radiator is probably low on coolant. Check also the pressure of the system by wrapping a cloth around the upper radiator and squeezing it. Aside from this problem of making you pull over every now and then, overheating can not only shorten your engine’s life but can also cause huge damage on your engine. It is therefore important to check the radiator regularly to avoid inconveniences and serious engine problems in the future.

Who says the best seller Maruti Alto has lost its stature in Indian domestic market? Infact it s still in high-demand and giving rigid competition to newly mushrooming techno-loaded cars like Chevrolet Beat, Chevrolet Spark, Etios Liva, Ford Figo, Honda Jazz, and Tata Nano. It was first introduced in the year 1979 and actively replaced its elder Maruti 800 which was stayed at the position of topper for long. Thereafter company has introduced numerous cars to hold the risen up competition in number of segments. In these Maruti Swift, Maruti Swift Dzire, Maruti SX4, Maruti Gypsy, Maruti Wagon R and Maruti Zen Estilo have extensively done well and still dearer to their owners in such a manner that they never ever want to replace them.

And recently we come to know that Hyundai Motors is coming with its brand-new contestant Hyundai Eon in the month of October 2011 against Maruti Alto because it s depriving Hyundai s small cars to their share in demands namely Hyundai i10 and Hyundai Santro Xing. The Eon will be fitted with 800cc, 3-Cylinder equipped engine to deliver the required power of 50 Bhp.

But for Alto s yearning everyone in the house of Maruti Suzuki is very much confident that it stayed for long because there are numerous genuine reasons. Low maintenance cost and prominent resale value are of its major factors which back strongly to its popularity which are rare to be found in newly launched small cars. For instance, Tata Motors has launched its lakhtakiya car Tata Nano against it but if you re going to resale it then you could hardly find or if so then you get cost-to-nothing paybacks of your efforts. Also, GM s Chevrolet Spark and Beat are having high maintenance cost comparatively and there resale ratio is also lesser than Maruti Alto.

Moreover, despite of having 800cc engine the pick-up of Maruti Alto Price is high as compared to other one. Even though, you can comfortably carry long-distance journey in it but all reasonably because if you make it overloaded and expect it to have comfortable ride then it s not possible. As per structured, Alto can carry 4 persons comfortably with their prominent luggage.
