How to Solve the Problem of High Car Water Temperature?
1 Answers
Solutions for high car water temperature are as follows: 1. Check if the water pipe is leaking: If there is a leak, it indicates that the high water temperature might be caused by the leakage. If the leakage is not severe and there is still a significant amount of coolant in the radiator, you can add spare coolant if available. If not, you can use purified water as a temporary emergency measure and drive to the nearest repair shop for inspection. During this period, always monitor the water temperature. If the water temperature rises, pull over, add coolant, and wait for the temperature to drop. 2. Check if the water pipe or radiator is cracked: If a crack is found, it is recommended to stop driving immediately and call for assistance. If no signs of leakage are detected, the high water temperature is not caused by insufficient coolant. In this case, let the engine idle for a few minutes, adjust the air conditioning to the heating mode (turn off A/C), set the fan to maximum speed, and open the hood to help the engine cool down. 3. Check if the cooling fan is functioning properly: When the engine water temperature is too high, the fan should continue running even after the engine is turned off. If the fan does not move, try manually rotating the fan blades to see if the fan motor is stuck. Under normal conditions, the blades should rotate easily. If the motor is functioning properly, check the fan fuse.
