What are the causes of high water temperature in Peugeot 308?
1 Answers
The causes of high water temperature in Peugeot 308 are as follows: 1. Insufficient coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine's cooling system, leading to a lack of water in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly check and replenish the coolant, it can easily result in the engine's water temperature becoming too high. 2. Radiator leakage: Broken or improperly connected radiator hoses can cause leaks, obstructing water circulation and potentially leading to the engine "boiling over." 3. Cooling fan malfunction: A damaged cooling fan or a short circuit in the wiring can cause the fan to malfunction or operate at a slow speed, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating and naturally raising the engine's water temperature. 4. Thermostat failure: The thermostat controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation cycles will be affected, preventing the effective dissipation of engine heat. 5. Water pump failure: If the water pump malfunctions, the water that conducts heat in the engine cannot circulate and renew in a timely manner. As a result, the water temperature will rise rapidly after the engine starts, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate.
