Car water temperature being too high is caused by: 1. Insufficient coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can lead to coolant loss in the engine's cooling system, resulting in insufficient water in the radiator; 2. Radiator leakage: Broken or improperly connected radiator hoses can cause leaks, which then obstructs water circulation; 3. Cooling fan malfunction: A damaged cooling fan or a short circuit in the wiring can prevent the fan from operating or cause it to spin too slowly. The car's water temperature reflects the working condition of the cooling system. The engine must operate within an appropriate high-temperature range. When the engine coolant temperature is around 90 degrees, the engine reaches its optimal operating state. At this temperature, the combustion chamber is hot enough to fully evaporate the fuel, allowing for better fuel combustion and reduced gas emissions.

Why Does the Automatic Transmission Shake Severely When Shifting Gears?

Severe shaking of an automatic transmission car when shifting gears is due to the transmission gear oil being too viscous and dense, which makes the transmission components receive the engine's power more noticeably, causing the car to shake significantly. This situation requires timely attention. Possible reasons for the gear oil becoming viscous: During operation, the gear oil may become contaminated with various impurities and metal shavings from the gearbox; some of the light oil components in the gear oil may naturally evaporate during use; or the properties of the gear oil may change due to deterioration after its shelf life has expired. Corresponding solutions: If the issue is due to contamination, clean it promptly; if it's caused by the natural evaporation of light oil, add light oil in time; if it's due to the expiration of the shelf life, replace the gear oil promptly. Key points for shifting gears in an automatic transmission: When switching between gears other than D and S, first press the brake, then move the gear lever to the desired position, and finally release the brake to complete the gear shift.
