Reasons for the Coolant Not Circulating in the Zhonghua Junjie?
2 Answers
There are issues with certain hardware components in the cooling circulation system. Below is relevant information about the Zhonghua Junjie: 1. Design: The Junjie incorporates designs from Italy's Pininfarina, blending Western dynamism and elegance with Eastern smoothness and grandeur. This highly anticipated model is a Wagon variant developed on the Zhonghua Junjie platform by the globally renowned Pininfarina Automotive Design Center; 2. Manufacturing: During production, Brilliance Auto strictly adheres to BMW manufacturing standards, employing BMW engineers to oversee the production process. Even in critical processes, it shares production lines with Brilliance BMW, ensuring that the quality of this Zhonghua Junjie Wagon can rival that of renowned European automotive brands.
I drove a Brilliance Junjie for several years. The most common issue with water not circulating is a faulty water pump. When the rotating part wears out or the bearing is damaged, the coolant can't be pushed effectively. Another problem is a faulty thermostat—if it gets stuck in the closed position, the fluid only circulates within the engine and doesn't reach the radiator, causing the temperature to spike. Insufficient or dirty coolant can also cause this issue; too little fluid means inadequate pressure, or pipes clogged with rust and debris can impede flow. Additionally, air bubbles in the system can create an airlock, requiring bleeding and inspection. If the engine heats up but the hoses don't feel warm, or if there are unusual noises or abnormal water flow sounds, it's likely a water pump or thermostat issue. Replacing the antifreeze and cleaning the radiator during every maintenance session can prevent major repairs. Never delay fixing these issues, or the engine may overheat and suffer severe damage like cylinder scoring, leading to total failure.
