What to Do When the Engine Water Temperature Is High?

[OArcher]

Engine water temperature may rise due to the following reasons and solutions: 1. Poor radiator cooling may be caused by excessive scale in the radiator, preventing proper water circulation, or the electric fan not working, leading to inadequate cooling. Solution: Clean or replace the radiator and inspect the fan. 2. The thermostat fails to open correctly. The thermostat closes at low temperatures and opens at 90 degrees to allow major water circulation. If it fails to open at 90 degrees, it can cause high water temperature. Solution: Replace the thermostat. 3. Slippage of the water pump or detachment of the impeller inside can lead to poor water circulation, resulting in overheating. Solution: Replace the water pump. 4. Damage to the cylinder head gasket. Solution: Replace the cylinder head gasket. 5. Leakage in the cooling system causing insufficient water level can also lead to high water temperature. Check if the water level is decreasing. If a leak is detected, address it promptly.
