What are the reasons for the high water temperature in Jinbei Haice?
2 Answers
Jinbei Haice's high water temperature may be caused by insufficient automotive antifreeze coolant or the cooling water in the car engine's radiator reaching the boiling point. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive antifreeze coolant: 1. Overview: Coolant, fully known as antifreeze coolant, means coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or freezing the engine cylinder block when parking in cold seasons. Antifreeze should not only be used in winter but should be used all year round. 2. Others: In normal car maintenance projects, the engine antifreeze needs to be replaced every year. The main component is the solid form of CO2. Coolant consists of three parts: water, antifreeze, and additives. According to the different components of antifreeze, it can be divided into alcohol type, glycerol type, ethylene glycol type, and other types of coolant.
I once experienced a sudden surge in water temperature while driving a Jinbei Haise. That summer, I was hauling cargo up a long slope when the dashboard temperature instantly shot up to the red line, scaring me into pulling over immediately. When I popped the hood, smoke was already coming out. The main causes were quite common, such as coolant leakage leading to low water levels—I checked and found the radiator water level was indeed low. The radiator might have been clogged with dust and leaves, blocking airflow, and the fan wasn't spinning, just making a buzzing noise. Prolonged high temperatures can damage the engine head gasket, and repairs can cost several thousand yuan. It's advisable to stop promptly, check the water level, and top up the coolant, as well as clean the radiator fins. If the fan is broken, replace it—otherwise, the risk of breaking down on the highway is high. For prevention, change the coolant annually, avoid overloading when driving on mountain roads, and maintain the cooling system regularly to minimize issues.
