What is the fault when the Geely Panda's water temperature is too high?

It may be that the water temperature gauge is damaged, showing a reading higher than the actual temperature. The radiator fan is faulty, and during prolonged traffic jams, the water temperature rises significantly, and there may even be a phenomenon of the antifreeze boiling. Related introductions are as follows: 1. The reasons for excessively high water temperature are as follows: insufficient engine coolant; faulty water temperature sensor or water temperature gauge; driving with a tailwind or long-term low-speed, high-load driving in high-temperature seasons; ignition timing being too early or too late. 2. Dissipate heat as soon as possible: If the water temperature is too high, you need to immediately find a safe place to park. If you are on a highway or ring road, remember to place a warning sign behind the car. Let the engine idle for a few minutes, turn on the air conditioning heater, and then open the hood to dissipate heat as quickly as possible.
Recently, I've encountered many Geely Panda owners reporting issues with high engine temperature, which can range from minor to serious. The most common causes lie in the cooling system—either low or degraded coolant, significantly reducing heat dissipation. Another issue could be a thermostat stuck in the closed position, preventing coolant circulation for heat dispersion. If the temperature spikes during traffic jams, it's likely due to a faulty electric fan or a radiator clogged with poplar fluff. Worn water pump impellers can also halt coolant flow entirely. Here's a tip: if the engine overheats right after stopping post-highway driving, it's often a fan relay failure. Also, don't overlook a slightly blown head gasket; coolant mixing with engine oil can cause temperature rise. If abnormal engine temperature is detected, it's best to stop and turn off the engine immediately, then tow it to a repair shop for diagnostic trouble codes. Otherwise, the cost of an engine overhaul could be substantial.
