What temperature is generally considered too high for an engine?
1 Answers
Engine overheating generally refers to temperatures above 105 degrees Celsius. Lack of coolant: Insufficient or inappropriate coolant cannot effectively dissipate the heat generated by engine components, leading to excessively high water temperature. Cooling system malfunction: Blockages in the radiator guard mesh or core ventilation passages by debris can result in poor heat dissipation. A faulty cooling fan may also prevent timely heat transfer to the antifreeze during high-speed operation, causing the antifreeze temperature to rise and leading to issues like boiling over. Thermostat malfunction: If the thermostat is not functioning properly, it can cause the engine to overheat. This can usually be diagnosed by checking the temperature difference between the small hoses connected to the thermostat. A significant temperature difference between the two hoses indicates a faulty thermostat. In such cases, it is advisable to seek professional maintenance services for inspection and repair.
