How far can you drive if the coolant pipe bursts?
1 Answers
After the water pipe bursts, the car cannot continue to drive. You must repair the pipe and add water or coolant before you can continue driving. If the car does not overheat (boil), the burst is caused by poor quality or aging of the pipe. Replacing it with a high-quality pipe will solve the problem. No need to worry. Extended content: If the car boils, the following checks should be performed: 1. Insufficient engine coolant. 2. Faulty water temperature sensor or gauge. 3. Driving downwind or prolonged low-speed, high-load driving in hot seasons. 4. Ignition timing too early or too late. 5. The louver cannot fully open. 6. The air-fuel mixture is too lean or too rich. 7. The radiator is externally dirty or internally scaled, causing poor heat dissipation. The radiator needs to be cleaned or replaced. 8. The fan clutch engages too late, or the cooling fan is not working, the fan rotation resistance is too high, the blades are installed backward, or the blades are damaged. 9. The electric fan performs poorly or lacks high speed. 10. Excessive carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. 11. The water pump belt is too loose. 12. Issues with the three-way catalytic converter. 13. Air passing through water in the cylinder head gasket failure. 14. The thermostat does not open properly and needs replacement. 15. Blockages in other water pipes, elbows, or water passages. 16. The water pump is not working well (insufficient coolant circulation).
