What are the effects of high engine water temperature?
1 Answers
Excessive engine temperature can lead to cylinder scoring or bearing seizure, which is a very serious condition that can easily cause vehicle malfunctions and lead to accidents. The following are the reasons for high engine water temperature: 1. Insufficient coolant: It is necessary to determine the cause of insufficient coolant, which may be due to not adding coolant for too long or certain components malfunctioning. If it is because coolant has not been added for too long, simply adding coolant will suffice. 2. Cooling fan failure: This could be due to a broken fan belt or a slipping fan belt. In this case, the cooling fan needs to be replaced. 3. Sensor failure: If there is an issue with the water temperature sensor or the temperature sensor, the vehicle cannot detect the temperature, and the cooling fan will naturally not work. Faulty components should be replaced promptly.
