What are the reasons for the high coolant temperature in the BYD S6?

The reasons for the high coolant temperature in the BYD S6 may include thermostat failure, oil leakage, etc. Here is a detailed introduction about BYD automobiles: 1. Overview: BYD is a Chinese automotive brand, founded in 1995, mainly producing commercial vehicles, family cars, and batteries. Starting with a team of just over 20 people, it grew to become the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer by 2003, and in the same year, it established BYD Auto. 2. Others: The design of BYD vehicles incorporates both advanced international trends and aligns with the aesthetic concepts of Chinese culture. The new BYD logo will no longer use the original blue and white color scheme; the pattern has been changed to an elliptical shape, incorporating light and shadow elements.
I've been driving my BYD S6 for over three years, and the most frustrating issue is the coolant temperature getting too high. Common causes include insufficient coolant, possibly due to an unnoticed leak; a clogged radiator that's too dirty, especially in summer when flying insects easily block airflow; a broken fan that won't spin and can't dissipate heat; a stuck thermostat that won't open, affecting circulation; and an aging water pump that can't push the coolant, leading to temperature rise. Once, during a long-distance drive, the temperature suddenly spiked because the fan wiring came loose. I had to stop immediately to check, refill the coolant, and cool it down, or the engine might have been ruined. I recommend regularly checking if the coolant level is between the min and max marks, cleaning debris from the radiator surface periodically, and addressing any issues promptly by visiting a professional repair shop. Spending a little now can save you from bigger troubles later.
