What Causes the Wuling Zhiguang's Radiator to Frequently Boil Over?
1 Answers
Frequent boiling over of the Wuling Zhiguang's radiator is caused by issues such as a faulty engine thermostat failing to open, insufficient coolant, malfunctioning water pump, clogged radiator, or inoperative cooling fan. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop or auto repair facility for specific diagnosis. Detailed causes are as follows: Reduced Heat Exchange Efficiency: Damaged thermostat, faulty electric fan, or low coolant level in the cooling system can prevent proper cooling of radiator fluid, leading to rising temperatures. When reaching water's boiling point, excessive bubbles form, occupying space and causing severe coolant depletion around cylinder walls. Despite residual coolant in the radiator, insufficient cooling around cylinders drastically reduces heat transfer efficiency, hindering heat dissipation from cylinders to the radiator. High-Load Driving: Rapid temperature spikes in cylinders under sustained high-load conditions without adequate cooling can weaken components like pistons, piston rings, and connecting rods, potentially causing deformation. This disrupts normal part clearances and oil film integrity, leading to engine scuffing or seizure in mild cases, or complete engine failure in severe scenarios.
