Reasons for the high water temperature in the Wuling Zhiguang minivan: 1. The surface of the radiator is too dirty; 2. It may be that the coolant has not been replaced for a long time. If the water temperature is too high, it needs to be checked immediately and repaired as soon as possible. The Wuling Zhiguang is a micro minivan. In terms of body size, its length, width, and height are 3797mm, 1510mm, and 1820mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2500mm. In terms of power, the Wuling Zhiguang is equipped with a 1.2L 76-horsepower L4 naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 56 kilowatts.
I'm a van driver who operates a Wuling Zhiguang and frequently transports goods over long distances. I've encountered the issue of overheating several times. The main causes generally include a clogged radiator where accumulated dust affects heat dissipation; insufficient or leaking coolant, as low water levels in the radiator directly lead to temperature spikes; a non-functioning fan, where the electric fan is broken or not spinning; a stuck thermostat that fails to open; or a faulty water pump that prevents coolant circulation. Sometimes, driving an older vehicle also leads to issues like leaking due to aging pipes. Last time, a small leak that I didn't patch in time caused the temperature gauge to skyrocket during a long trip, nearly resulting in engine seizure. It's advisable to regularly check the coolant level, replace it if it's dirty, and periodically flush the radiator. Avoid driving an old vehicle for too long, especially in hot weather, as it's prone to problems.
