Malfunctions in one compartment of the transport device can damage the entire vehicle. If you feel that the temperature of your vehicle is higher than usual, and this continues from time to time, it is worth finding out the reason why the car is warming up, before more unpleasant consequences.
Instructions
Step 1
Before checking why the temperature of your car's engine suddenly began to rise, take the necessary safety measures: turn off the stove and drive to the side of the road. Open the bonnet and wait a while to allow the overheated engine to cool slightly. Never cool the engine with ice water, as in this case you risk destroying engine parts under a sharp temperature difference.
Step 2
The most harmless reason why a car heats up is a clogged radiator grille. The radiator can become clogged both internally as a result of using the engine on water, and externally due to adhered insects, dust and other troubles. All this dirt prevents the radiator pipes from being cooled by the outside air.
Step 3
To fix the impending problem, it is enough to flush the radiator itself. You can do this yourself using a high-pressure hose, or go to a car wash.
Step 4
Most often, motorists are faced with the problem of engine overheating due to poor-quality operation of the cooling system. This is due to the fact that there is not enough fluid in your car's cooling system itself. Open the cap on the expansion tank (when the engine has cooled down).
Step 5
If the liquid level in the container is less than required, inspect the rest of the engine parts: connecting pipes, radiator surface, fluid pump (pump). Having found leaks on these parts and, having found out the cause, eliminate this defect at least temporarily, add coolant to the tank. Start the engine and check if the problem is completely resolved before proceeding.
