Why does the Aoling CTS overheat when climbing slopes?
2 Answers
Aoling CTS overheats when climbing slopes due to insufficient engine coolant. Hazards of insufficient engine coolant: When climbing slopes, the engine power increases, generating more heat. If there are issues with heat dissipation at this time, the engine is highly prone to boiling over, which can damage the engine. Adding coolant can prevent such situations. Introduction to coolant: Engine coolant, also known as engine antifreeze, primarily ensures the normal and efficient operation of the engine. The coolant circulates within the engine's fuel tank, providing antifreeze, anti-rust, and anti-corrosion effects.
I've been driving trucks for over 20 years, and overheating issues with the Aoling CTS during uphill climbs are quite common, mostly due to cooling system problems. When climbing, the engine is under heavy load, so the temperature rises quickly. If there's insufficient coolant or a leak, and the heat dissipation can't keep up, overheating occurs immediately. If the radiator is clogged with a thick layer of dust, heat can't dissipate, especially noticeable in summer. If the water pump fails, coolant circulation stops, and a loose fan belt also affects cooling. Once, my truck was climbing a mountain when the temperature gauge suddenly spiked. I stopped and found the fan belt had cracked—replacing it on the spot saved the day. I recommend regularly checking coolant levels, changing it every 5,000 kilometers, and cleaning the radiator to avoid bigger engine damage and costly repairs. For safe driving, if overheating occurs, slow down, stop, and check—don't push it.
