What Causes a Diesel Engine to Overheat?
1 Answers
The causes of a diesel engine overheating include insufficient coolant, loose or faulty fan belts, and poor radiator performance. Below are the specific details: Insufficient Coolant: Regularly check the coolant level in the radiator and expansion tank, and replenish it promptly if the level is low. A lack of coolant in the diesel engine's cooling system can impair heat dissipation, leading to engine overheating. Loose or Faulty Fan Belts: Tighten or replace the fan belts. If the cooling fan is faulty, the motor and electrical circuits need to be inspected and repaired. Poor Radiator Performance: Debris on the radiator surface can reduce its cooling efficiency. It is advisable to have it cleaned at a 4S shop.
