Will Continuing to Drive with an Overheated Engine Have Any Impact?
1 Answers
Continuing to drive with an overheated engine can have very significant consequences. When the water temperature warning light on the vehicle's dashboard illuminates, if the driver notices this situation and takes proper measures by stopping immediately, there generally won't be any serious aftereffects after repairs. However, if driving continues, it may cause irreversible damage to the engine. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. The term 'engine' can refer to either the power generation device alone or the entire machine including the power unit.
