What Causes High Engine Temperature?
1 Answers
Engine overheating can be caused by: 1. Coolant: Coolant deficiency or clogged cooling radiator. 2. Increased flow resistance: Scale or debris in the radiator leading to higher coolant flow resistance. 3. Insufficient cold air flow: Loose fan belt resulting in inadequate cold air flow to the radiator. 4. Loose water pump belt: Damaged water pump impeller reducing coolant flow. Solutions for high engine temperature include: (1) Refill or replace the coolant. (2) Clean the cooling radiator. (3) Inspect the radiator for debris and clean it promptly. (4) Replace the fan belt or water pump belt. (5) Replace the thermostat.
