During the operation of the car, it is necessary to regularly monitor the engine temperature. It is very important to prevent overheating of the motor, because this leads to unpleasant consequences. Sometimes it is necessary to carry out general engine overhauls or change it. What are the reasons for engine overheating?
If an electric fan is installed, check it first if the engine overheats. First you need to check if the fuse on it has blown, and replace it if necessary. If this does not help, then further you need to inspect the temperature sensor. We disconnect the wires from the sensor and connect them directly to the battery, if the fan is working, then the sensor was faulty, because of it the engine was not forcibly cooled.
It is also recommended to check the fan relay. It is enough to clean the contacts and reconnect them. If this does not work, then it is necessary to check whether the fan is powered at all. There is a possibility that the fan motor is defective. In this case, you will have to go to the service station, and you will need to constantly stop to cool the engine.
Another popular problem is the thermostat not working. This can only be corrected by replacing it with a new one. It is not difficult to check - if the engine is hot and the radiator is cold, then the thermostat did not work.
When the engine is overheated, you cannot turn it off immediately, let alone pour cold water on it! You just need to open the hood. When hot metal comes into contact with water, a temperature drop occurs, which is a consequence of the occurrence of cracks. It is because of such little things that the life of the motor depends. Therefore, it is necessary to timely monitor and replace defective parts so that this does not lead to a complete replacement of the engine.
