What to Do When the Dashboard Shows Low Water Temperature?

[LauraMarie]

If the dashboard shows low water temperature shortly after starting the vehicle, you can warm up the car for a few minutes and then drive slowly until the water temperature rises. If the water temperature still does not rise, you need to check the radiator for leaks. The reasons for low car water temperature include a damaged thermostat or a constantly running cooling fan. If the thermostat fails, the valve cannot close, and the coolant continues to circulate in a large loop, causing the engine's water temperature to remain low. Some cars may have their thermostats removed in summer to reduce temperature, which can also result in low engine water temperature. For the cooling fan, circuit faults can cause the electric fan to run continuously. For silicone oil fans, a damaged silicone oil clutch can also lead to the fan running constantly. These issues can all cause low water temperature.
