What Causes a Sudden Overheating of the Car's Water Temperature?
1 Answers
Reasons for high car water temperature: 1. The cooling fan is not working, which is controlled by the water temperature sensor. 2. Insufficient cooling medium; antifreeze, water, or distilled water should be added temporarily throughout the year. 3. Damaged thermostat; the thermostat's function is to accurately open based on the water temperature as the car warms up, creating a temperature difference on both sides. 4. Clogged radiator. 5. Water pump failure. 6. Cylinder erosion, causing combustion chamber and water channel issues, leading to frequent water discharge from the drain pipe or white smoke, resulting in regular radiator water shortage. 7. Incorrect ignition timing (corrected with a timing light) and excessively high oil pressure.
