What Causes Rapid Consumption of Car Radiator Water?

[SanRafael]

There are several reasons for the rapid consumption of water in a car radiator: 1. Coolant system leakage: The radiator and hoses are just part of the cooling system. There may be leaks in other hidden areas, such as a small hole in the water pump, aging seals in metal pipe sections, or leaks at the engine water plugs. 2. Engine burning water: If there is no possibility of leakage, then the only remaining possibility is the engine burning water. Due to excessively high engine temperatures, the coolant directly evaporates, leading to a reduction in coolant levels. This can manifest in various symptoms: high water temperature, engine overheating, excessive exhaust emissions, and white exhaust smoke. To resolve this issue, the cylinder head must be removed first to inspect the internal condition of the engine (such as deformation or wear) before proceeding with further repairs (a mechanic will advise on the necessary steps).
