The reasons for a car boiling over include: 1. High-temperature weather conditions; 2. Overloaded air conditioning operation and faulty cooling components; 3. Radiator leakage; 4. Insufficient or deteriorated coolant; 5. Blocked coolant circulation system; 6. Thermostat failure; 7. Engine water pump failure. The methods to handle a car boiling over are: 1.
