What Causes a Car to Overheat?
1 Answers
The reasons for a car overheating: 1. Insufficient antifreeze in the engine cooling system, possibly due to leaks such as a water pump leak, damaged pipes, or a damaged radiator; 2. A faulty thermostat in the engine cooling system causing excessively high water temperature, as the thermostat fails to open, obstructing the flow of coolant within the engine, leading to overheating; 3. Malfunctioning cooling fan in the engine cooling system, resulting in poor heat dissipation of the coolant, which triggers the temperature warning light due to excessive coolant temperature; 4. A faulty water pump in the engine cooling system, where the pump does not rotate smoothly, impairing coolant circulation and causing the coolant temperature to rise excessively.
