Is it normal for the Roewe 350's water temperature to stay at four bars?

It is not normal. Common causes of high water temperature in a car include coolant leakage or insufficient coolant, faulty radiator fan, faulty circulation water pump, faulty thermostat, poor radiator cooling, etc. Here are the methods to deal with high engine water temperature: 1. Park in a shaded area: If you notice high engine water temperature while driving, find a safe and shaded place to pull over. Let the vehicle idle, but do not turn off the engine, as shutting it off will stop the cooling fan and coolant circulation, causing the engine temperature to rise further. 2. Check the radiator fluid: Inspect the fan for any abnormalities, check for leaks in the radiator hoses, and ensure the coolant level is sufficient.
I've been driving the Roewe 350 for several years, and the temperature gauge consistently showing four bars is usually normal, indicating the engine coolant temperature is maintained around 90°C, the optimal operating temperature. Under normal driving conditions, such as daily commuting or highway driving, four bars represent that the cooling system is functioning well without overheating or undercooling issues. However, the design of temperature gauges varies by model, and for the Roewe 350, four bars are typically the midpoint, so there's no need to worry. For extra precaution, I recommend occasionally checking the coolant level: ensure it's between the high and low marks and that the fluid is clear and free of contaminants. Insufficient or dirty coolant may affect the temperature. During hot weather, increased engine load might cause a slight rise in temperature, but as long as it doesn't exceed six bars or trigger a warning light, it's fine. If you frequently drive long distances, it's best to have a comprehensive inspection at a professional service center every six months to ensure the fan and water pump are functioning properly, preventing potential issues from affecting driving safety.
