Can You Continue Driving When the Car Engine Overheats?

[LeTalia]

You cannot continue driving when the car engine overheats. After the engine overheats, it requires a cooling period of one and a half hours. Radiator Leakage: A broken or improperly connected radiator hose can cause leakage, which will obstruct the water circulation and, in severe cases, lead to engine "boiling over." Insufficient Coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine's cooling system, resulting in a lack of water in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly inspect, detect, and replenish the coolant, it can easily cause the engine to overheat. Thermostat Malfunction: The thermostat is a device that controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation cycles will inevitably be affected, preventing the effective dissipation of the engine's heat.
