How to Solve High Water Temperature?

[VonAlaina]

Here are the solutions for high water temperature: 1. If the temperature is too high or the temperature indicator light keeps flashing, stop the vehicle to check whether the coolant in the radiator is normal and whether there is any leakage in the radiator, water pipes, and joints. If no abnormalities are found during the external inspection, you can refill the coolant as required and continue driving. If the temperature remains high after driving for a while and the coolant level drops upon stopping to check, this is mostly due to sand holes or perforations in the water jacket of the cylinder block causing coolant loss. Once this fault is detected, repairs should be carried out. 2. When the engine temperature is too high, you can touch the upper and lower water pipes to determine the fault. If there is a significant temperature difference between the two pipes, it can be concluded that the thermostat is not working. If you cannot purchase a replacement part immediately, you can remove the thermostat as an emergency measure and replace it as soon as possible after returning. 3. If there is air in the cooling system, it can form an airlock, hindering the circulation of coolant and causing the engine temperature to rise too high. To release the air, run the engine at high speed and gently unscrew the radiator cap until air starts to escape. Some coolant may escape with the air. Repeat this process several times until all the air is released (you will notice a significant temperature difference between the upper and lower water pipes when touched). After resolving the issue, promptly refill the coolant. 4. If the vehicle has been driven on dirt roads or muddy sections for a long time, debris may accumulate on the radiator, which over time can affect heat dissipation and lead to high water temperature. First, use compressed air to blow off the radiator grille, then rinse it with a water hose.
