What
should we do? If coolant temperature warning light turns on.
Attention!
Do not try to open the radiator cap!
The
radiator contains hot water under high pressure. If the cover on the radiator
is opened, pressurized and steamed air can cause severe burns. There is no
intervention type that you can do with a hot motor. That’s why let your car
cool down. In addition to this, opening the cover of a hot engine can lead to
greater costs. This is because, high pressure will drain the water and cause
the motor to stay dry and burn the gasket. Wait at least half an hour or more.
After the engine has cooled down, you can open the radiator cap and check the
coolant level. Firstly, cover place with a cloth on the cap and slowly turn the
cap until it stops in the first lock. In this way, you can ensure that the
pressure inside is released safely. Wait until all the pressure is out before
you open the cap.If liquid is missing; add water or antifreeze to the radiator
or coolant reservoir. It will be more accurate to add 50/50 antifreeze and
water mixture to protect engine water from freezing and boiling risk and
against corrosion. However, this is an emergency situation, so you may not have
antifreeze. Add water for now, and then add some antifreeze by draining some of
the cooling fluid.
Check
Water Leaks!
The
engine cooling fluid has been lost due to leaks, so the engine may have
overheated. Visually inspect the radiator, engine and cooling system for leaks.
Generally, leaks are seen in the radiator, radiator hoses, hose connections and
circulation pump. If there is a leak in the engine (such as a cylinder gasket
or a blind crack) it will not be visible and this can only be detected by the
cooling system pressure test.
If
you do not stop the vehicle which has a coolant malfunction…
Continuing
to use an overheated motor can cause serious damage. You damage the pistons,
and cylinder gaskets. When the parts inside the engine are overheated, they
expand and rub against each other and begin to melt and fuse. Valve thrusters
can be extended, the valves melt, the pistons and the crankshaft can wear out.
