1 Answers
Methods to deal with high engine temperature while driving: 1. Slow down the vehicle, pull over to the side of the road, and do not turn off the engine immediately; 2. Put on gloves and place a multi-folded wet cloth over the radiator cap; 3. Loosen the radiator cap slightly to allow steam to slowly escape. Once the radiator pressure drops, refill the coolant to the normal level. Reasons for high engine temperature while driving include: 1. Faulty air conditioning condenser or compressor pump, or lack of refrigerant; 2. Water pipe leakage leading to insufficient coolant; 3. Broken fan belt; 4. Thermostat failure; 5. Oil leakage; 6. Clogged radiator; 7. Insufficient coolant; 8. Faulty temperature control switch.
