Is 90℃ Normal for Car Engine Temperature?
1 Answers
An engine temperature of 90 degrees Celsius is normal, as the typical operating temperature range is between 70 to 90 degrees. Overheating may occur due to insufficient coolant, malfunctioning cooling fan, or faulty water pump. Coolant leakage or low coolant level can cause engine temperature to rise - if low, first top up to the proper level. Below is additional information: 1. Insufficient Coolant: Coolant leaks or low levels will lead to higher engine temperatures. Check coolant condition and refill if necessary, then monitor for significant level drops over subsequent days. 2. Cooling Fan Malfunction: When the cooling fan fails, heat cannot be effectively transferred to the antifreeze, impairing cooling capacity and potentially causing boiling-over issues due to elevated antifreeze temperatures.
