Hallandale Beach, FL – Brake Kingdom prides itself in being the most resource driven Florida based auto repair shop dedicated to educating clients on how to take good care of their vehicles. Brake Kingdom now provides top solutions to help auto owners deal with car overheating on the road.
A car engine’s cooling system centers around the radiator which keeps the car’s engine cool. Driving generates a lot of heat during the combustion process. Therefore, it needs constant cooling to avoid pistons seizing up and snapping, or even a head gasket blowing off. When a car’s engine is running, its pistons move up and down the bores at anywhere between 1500 rpm at idle to 8000rpm at flat-out which creates heat and friction. The engine operating temperature range for most cars is between 195 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Signs of a car overheating begin with the water temperature gauge. It should be running at no more than 90 degrees. If it starts to rise, then stop. Heed the warning!” explained Israel Avila, representative of Brake Kingdom. The following outlines the top solutions provided by Brake Kingdom ‘Auto Education’ Series, the top auto engineer to deal with car overheating in South Florida Summer:
Five things to do first:
- Turn off the AC as soon as the overheating starts. Did you know that the energy used to make your car’s interior cool actually makes the engine hotter?
- Turn on the heat for immediate (and uncomfortable) damage control- It sounds counter-intuitive, but it lets some of the excess heat get out of your car until you can get off the road.
- 3. Pull Over – you need to get off the road and do some more troubleshooting.
- Rev the Engine – put your car into neutral or park. Revving the engine lightly will help drop your engine’s temperature.
- Open the hood. Please be careful. Of course you were prepared (because you read this). Don’t injure yourself trying to screw off a piping hot radiator cap! If fluids are low, add coolant or water to the radiator when your engine is OFF and cool again.
Coolant, a mixture of antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and water is a fluid pumped around the engine and kept cool with the help of the radiator.
Common causes for a clogged radiator are dirt, dead insects and loose debris such as stones. These will block the airflow through the radiator resulting in it overheating. Open the bonnet and you can usually see this clearly.
- Get Help – these quick fixes are to be used if you find your car overheating while you’re on the road. There’s a chance overheating is an indicator of a larger problem with your coolant flow or something else.
