What to Do When Car Engine Temperature is High and Air Conditioning is Not Cooling?
1 Answers
If the vehicle experiences high engine temperature leading to air conditioning failure, the primary cause is engine overheating. The main reasons for excessive engine temperature include: 1. Insufficient coolant; 2. Faulty cooling fan; 3. Malfunctioning water pump; 4. Thermostat failure; 5. Poor heat dissipation in the radiator/condenser. Besides air conditioning failure, other symptoms of high engine temperature may include: 1. Dashboard warning lights indicating high temperature or engine overheating; 2. High-speed operation of engine cooling fan with noticeable noise; 3. Possible occurrence of engine knocking; 4. In severe cases, potential engine bearing failure resulting in non-start condition.
