Can the car still be driven after the radiator boils and cools down?
1 Answers
After the car radiator boils and cools down, it can be driven for a short distance, but it is recommended to drive at low speed to a service center for repair. The following are the hazards of radiator boiling: 1. Damage to the electric fan: If there are issues such as a damaged thermostat, malfunctioning electric fan, or insufficient coolant in the radiator within the cooling system, the coolant in the radiator cannot be cooled, leading to an increase in water temperature. 2. Disruption of normal clearances between parts: The inability to maintain normal oil films between parts can cause minor issues like engine cylinder or bearing wear, and in severe cases, it may lead to complete engine damage or even scrapping.
