Car overheating is one of the most common problems in the world of cars, especially in the summer and hot areas, due to the high temperature, so you must prepare well to face the hot days and know how to take care of the car at that time, but is this the only reason behind that?
Of course not, there are many hidden factors that cause the car engine to overheat , which leads to its failure.
Car overheating factors:
- Low oil level in the engine:
This may happen as a result of damage to some of the interlocks or gaskets in the engine, which leads to oil leakage to some parts inside, and from there to the combustion chamber, and then burning and exiting with the exhaust, and thus causing a decrease in the oil level and an increase in the engine temperature.
- Motor fan belt loosening:
One of the most important reasons for engine overheating is the loosening of the fan belt or additional belts, which may lead to the water pump not operating well, which causes the engine to overheat.
- Radiator blockage:
Sometimes radiators are exposed to rust or small insects, which reduces the efficiency of the coolant cycle, and thus increases the engine temperature.
- Low engine hauling capacity:
This problem may occur as a result of many reasons, including a weakness in the fuel pump, a problem with the clutch kit or automatic engine, or a problem in the ignition system (spurs) or one of the pressure or speed sensors
All of the previous problems lead to weak engine intake, which increases the temperature of the engine, so these parts must be checked and the causes of weak engine intake, and when overcome, the motor overheating will be eliminated.
- Incorrectly bent one of the lower radiator connections:
Sometimes one of the lower radiator connections is folded incorrectly, which leads to a malfunction of the water pump, impeding the fluid cycle from performing its function, and thus the engine temperature increases.
To overcome this problem, the car can be lifted in a safe place, and then the car cover is opened without stopping the motor.
Now you have to look at the lower connections of the radiator, you may find that one of the hoses or connections is bent or extended incorrectly, if you find this, you must replace this connection immediately, and you will notice that the problem has disappeared completely.
Ways to maintain the car to avoid engine overheating:-
- Avoid using the car during hot waether as much as you can, and be careful to avoid overcrowding.
- check the car and engine for any leakage.
- Park the car in the shade and make sure to cover it to prevent sunlight from reaching it.
- Reducing the use of the car air conditioner and replacing it with opening the windows, as the increased consumption of the air conditioner leads to an increase in the temperature of the engine
- Avoid long-distance travel and the necessity of stopping from time to time so as not to consume a large amount of gasoline, which leads to an overheating of the motor.
- The radiator coolant must always be checked and supplied to keep the car engine warm, and if the car has been running for more than 4 years, it is preferable to change the radiator coolant frequently.
- Keep changing car tires every two years to avoid cracking and exploding, and it is better to fill them with nitrogen to keep the tire cool.
- Keep changing the oil and car fluids regularly.
- Make sure you have emergency equipment
