What to Do When the Car Overheats?
1 Answers
Common causes of car overheating include the following: 1. Lack of coolant: Insufficient coolant in the engine cooling system, possibly due to leaks such as from the water pump, damaged pipes, or a cracked radiator. 2. Thermostat failure: A malfunctioning thermostat in the engine cooling system can cause the water temperature to rise excessively. If the thermostat fails to open, it obstructs the flow of coolant within the engine, leading to overheating. 3. Cooling fan issues: If the cooling fan in the engine cooling system is not functioning properly, it results in poor heat dissipation of the coolant. This can trigger the water temperature warning light and cause the coolant to overheat.
