What to Pay Attention to When the Engine Water Temperature is Too High?

[ClaraLee]

When the engine temperature is too high, pay attention to the following: 1. Check and replenish the coolant, as insufficient coolant is the main cause of high engine water temperature; 2. Clean the dirt inside the radiator; 3. Check if the water pump is functioning properly. The water pump is the power source for coolant circulation. If the water pump is damaged, the coolant cannot circulate to dissipate heat, leading to high water temperature. When the vehicle's water temperature is too high, do not immediately turn off the engine. For most models, the cooling system's water pump is driven by the engine. Turning off the engine will also stop the water pump, preventing the coolant from continuing to circulate. At this time, all parts of the engine remain at high temperatures. Without effective cooling, the engine may be damaged.
