Is a car's water temperature of 95 degrees normal?
1 Answers
Water temperature of 95 degrees is not normal. Specific reasons for high water temperature: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leakage or low coolant levels can cause the engine's water temperature to rise. In this case, check the coolant level and top it up to the appropriate level if necessary. Recheck the level after a few days to see if it has dropped significantly. If it has, locate the source of the leak. 2. Faulty cooling fan: When the vehicle is running at high RPM, the heat generated cannot be transferred to the coolant in time, affecting heat dissipation and causing the coolant temperature to rise, leading to issues like overheating. 3. Faulty water pump: Water pump failures can include seized bearings or damaged impellers. Seized bearings are relatively rare, while damaged impellers, such as cracked impellers or impellers loosening from the pump shaft, can slow down the coolant circulation, leading to engine overheating. 4. Faulty thermostat: The thermostat's function is to automatically adjust the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, changing the water's circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity and ensure the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. If the thermostat is faulty, the car's cooling system may not perform a full circulation, causing the water temperature to rise.
