What Are the Reasons for High Car Engine Temperature?
1 Answers
Car engine temperature can become too high due to the following reasons: 1. The cooling fan is not working, as it is controlled by the temperature sensor; 2. Insufficient coolant, as vehicles require antifreeze, water, or distilled water as a temporary substitute throughout the year; 3. A faulty thermostat, which regulates the engine temperature by opening accurately based on the coolant temperature when there is a temperature difference on both sides; 4. A clogged radiator; 5. A malfunctioning water pump; 6. Cylinder damage, where the combustion chamber mixes with the coolant passage, leading to water or white smoke discharge from the exhaust pipe, causing frequent coolant loss; 7. Incorrect ignition timing (adjustable with a timing light) and excessive oil pressure.
