What are the reasons for high engine coolant temperature in the Magotan?

Reasons for high engine coolant temperature in the Magotan: 1. Most cases of high engine coolant temperature are caused by water pipe leakage and insufficient coolant. Specific reasons include: fan belt breakage, radiator or water pipe leakage, thermostat failure, engine oil leakage, etc. 2. If the engine power is lost during driving or there are severe knocking or piston slapping sounds, it is mostly due to engine overheating. Specific reasons include: cooling fan not working, thermostat damage, radiator blockage, water pump failure, etc.
While driving, I noticed that the high water temperature in my Magotan might be related to insufficient coolant. High temperatures in summer or prolonged use of air conditioning can lead to poor heat dissipation, making it prone to overheating. Another possible cause is a clogged radiator with dust or leaves, which affects cooling efficiency. A non-functioning fan is also a common issue, such as a faulty relay or poor electrical contact. I need to pull over immediately, turn off the air conditioning, and check if the coolant level is between the MIN and MAX marks in the reservoir. If it's low, I should visit a 4S shop to add the same type of coolant to avoid long-term high temperatures damaging internal engine components.
As someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, I've studied that the common cause of high coolant temperature in the Magotan is often due to the thermostat getting stuck in the closed position. This component controls the flow of coolant, and if it fails, the fluid can stagnate, leading to overheating. Worn-out water pumps can also reduce flow rate, making it ineffective for heat dissipation. During inspections, watch out for any signs of leakage in the pipes, loose connections, or cracks. Test the fan motor to see if it's working; otherwise, it might need replacement. For regular maintenance, it's recommended to change the coolant every two years to ensure the cooling system operates efficiently.
