Why does the Lavida have high water temperature and no circulation?
2 Answers
The reasons for high water temperature and no circulation in Lavida are as follows: Cooling fan not working: The cooling fan may be controlled by a temperature control switch or a water temperature sensor. Insufficient coolant: High-end cars require antifreeze to be added all year round; water or distilled water can be used temporarily; water tank cap leakage. Thermostat damage: If you want to remove the thermostat, the small circulation should be blocked to ensure that all coolant is dissipated by the radiator; when installing a new thermostat, pay attention to the water hole. For example, the Santana does not have a water hole, so a 6mm drill bit should be used to drill a hole. One function is to serve as a mark; the other is that during the heating process of the car, the temperature difference on both sides of the thermostat causes the thermostat to open accurately with the water temperature.
The Lavida's engine temperature is high and not circulating. As an experienced driver, I've encountered this issue several times. The most common cause is a stuck thermostat that fails to open, blocking coolant flow and preventing heat dissipation. It could also be a faulty water pump failing to circulate, often accompanied by strange noises during inspection. Low coolant levels or leaks are also frequent culprits - check the level before it boils over. If the cylinder head gasket is blown, allowing gas into the system, the circulation gets disrupted and requires immediate repair. My advice: after parking, feel the coolant hoses - if the upper hose is hot while the lower one stays cold, it likely indicates thermostat issues. Regular coolant changes and system cleaning during maintenance can prevent clogs. High engine temperature damages the engine, so don't push it - immediately visit a repair shop. Replacing a thermostat or pump isn't costly.
