What to Do When a Car Overheats?
1 Answers
When a car overheats, the first step is to identify the cause. Generally, there are several common reasons: 1. Installation issues: The engine radiator is too far from the engine, or the fan is outside the wind circle. This can be resolved by adjusting the radiator's installation position. If the air conditioning condenser blocks the radiator, there are two solutions: first, if there is enough space in the engine compartment, change the installation position of the condenser; second, if the generator has sufficient output, install an electric fan in front of the condenser. 2. Maintenance issues: The engine's compact structure means narrow water channels. In southern regions, it's essential to use soft water or distilled water to prevent scale buildup in the channels. In northern regions, visit a service station or authorized repair shop to add genuine coolant (antifreeze) to avoid cylinder head corrosion.
