What to Do When the Car's Water Temperature Gauge Shows a Red Light?

[VonMaci]

When the car's water temperature gauge shows a red light, the solution is to stop the car and let the engine cool down slowly to dissipate the heat. The reasons for high water temperature are: 1. Insufficient antifreeze in the engine cooling system; 2. A faulty thermostat in the engine cooling system causing the water temperature to rise too high; 3. The cooling fan in the engine cooling system is not working properly, leading to poor heat dissipation of the coolant. High water temperature, commonly known as "boiling," can cause deformation or even damage to the cylinder head and cylinder block. Precautions for high water temperature include: 1. Slow down while driving and pull over to the side of the road, do not rush to turn off the engine; 2. Avoid pouring cold water on the engine to cool it down.
