What To Check If Your Vehicle Is overheating and possible causes by Hardheolar(m): 9:22am On Sep 14, 2014 |
* Bad Thermostat * Cooling system leaks * Leaky Head Gasket * Fan Not Working * Leaky Water pump * Slipping Belt * Lower Radiator Hose Collapsing *Plugged or Dirty Radiator *Excessive exhaust back pressure *Overheated incoming air *Dragging brakes *Overworking the engine POSSIBLE CAUSES OF OVERHEATING Do you know? Overheating can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport and dissipate heat: A low coolant level, a coolant leak (through internal or external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside the engine because of accumulated deposits in the water jackets, a defective thermostat that doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator, a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an eroded or loose water pump impeller, or even a defective radiator cap. |

twoondei: Fantastic post this is.Definitely their is something wrong with your cooling system. It need no refill often. It is a close system where coolant is not expected to escape regularly. You need to have it check!!! |
