What does it mean when the water temperature gauge lights up?
1 Answers
When the water temperature gauge lights up, it indicates a malfunction in the engine's cooling system, which fails to ensure proper engine cooling. Here are the reasons for high car temperature: 1. Insufficient coolant: A decrease in coolant due to leakage can cause the water temperature to rise. In this case, check for any coolant leakage. If there is a leak, repair the leaking component as soon as possible. If there is no leakage, promptly add the appropriate coolant. 2. Problem with the cooling fan: A malfunctioning cooling fan can lead to increased water temperature. During high-speed operation, the heat generated cannot be effectively transferred to the antifreeze, affecting heat dissipation and causing the antifreeze temperature to rise, potentially leading to boiling over.
