What Are the Reasons for Rapid Coolant Consumption in Cars?

[MacAlyssa]

Car coolant is consumed quickly for the following reasons: 1. Check the water pipes and hoses for any signs of leakage. Inspect all pipe connections, as leaks may be caused by seepage at the joints. 2. Inspect the radiator cap for faults. A faulty radiator cap can cause coolant to escape when the engine temperature is high. 3. Verify whether the liquid in the car's radiator is genuine antifreeze. If it is a substandard antifreeze, it may evaporate too quickly. 4. Apart from leakage, another reason could be damage to the cylinder head gasket, excessive flatness deviation or warping of the joint surface between the cylinder head and cylinder block, or loose cylinder head fastening bolts. These issues can allow high-temperature and high-pressure gases from the cylinders to enter the cooling system, leading to rapid coolant consumption.
