Overheating of the power unit promises serious consequences. Thermal shock drives the cylinder head. So yes, it needs to be changed. And sometimes it’s even easier to buy
Sometimes in modern cars there is no antifreeze temperature gauge at all. Therefore, it is impossible to understand that the engine overheats at an early stage. However, the engineers did not leave the “mate” in trouble. The temperature sensor is programmed in such a way that it gives a command in advance, when it does not yet come out from under the hood to smoke and poses a real danger to the “steel heart”.
A red light on the instrument panel illuminates and an audible signal sounds. After that, the driver will have time to lower the temperature of the antifreeze or drive to the side of the road and take certain actions to find out the causes of the breakdown.
By the way, everything may not be so scary. If the temperature sensor already mentioned “glitched” (there may be several of them), it will begin to give incorrect commands. As a result, there is “light music” on the junk, and the “brain” turns on the cooling fan, and it constantly thirsts. At the same time, there is no critical overheating. The result – we change the spare part and forget about the problem.
A more serious option is also possible when the thermostat is stuck. To make sure of this, you need to drive to the side of the road, open the hood and feel the cooling system pipes of the large and small circles of antifreeze circulation. Are any of them cold? Then the thermostat must be replaced. However, everything is simple if the driver is knowledgeable and can repair the car himself.
Otherwise, you must reach the nearest service. That is, it is important to quickly lower the temperature of the “cooler”. The easiest way to do this is to turn off the air conditioning to reduce the load on the engine. And then turn on the “stove” fan at maximum speed. This causes the cabin to become very hot. Nothing, because the windows can be lowered. So it is quite realistic that the “iron horse” will get to the place of repair without any problems.
Another way to cool the antifreeze is to forcibly remove the temperature sensor connector. This will keep the fan running constantly. If the system is tight, you certainly don’t have to worry about the engine overheating. But there is a nuance here. The “cooler” cannot function indefinitely: it breaks down. The device must be allowed to rest. Therefore, during a long journey, you should occasionally stop and let the car cool down.
After such a short stop, however, you can safely maintain 60-80 km/h. After all, at speed the airflow is more efficient, both the water pump and the oil pump work better. That is, the lubricant cools faster, which contributes to the temperature stabilization of the engine.
