The engine is the most core part of the car, and it has a great impact on the performance and safety of the car. Once the engine has a problem, it will not be able to start, and the heavy will be destroyed. However, the working environment of the engine is very harsh, and if the coolant cannot cool down the engine in time, it will cause the pot to open. What should I do if the engine heat failure light is on while driving?
Some people feel that since the fault lights are on, it means that the engine has not worked properly, and it should quickly pull over to stop and turn off the engine, open the engine cover to cool down, so as to avoid greater danger. However, some people feel that the engine should not be turned off directly, and after the shutdown, other systems will stop working, and the coolant cannot be circulated and the car cannot be cooled.
What should I do in this situation? The maintenance master said the answer, in the case of water temperature failure lights, it is best not to directly extinguish the fire. The indicators on the dashboard only serve as a reminder, they light up to indicate that the part may have a problem, but does not mean that the part must be faulty and can not continue to work.
After the engine appears high temperature, if the vehicle is directly turned off, the water pump on the vehicle will also stop working, and the coolant on the vehicle cannot be circulated, and at this time, all parts of the engine are maintained at a high temperature, and it is impossible to get cooling and cooling in time, which will cause great damage to the engine and affect the service life of the engine.
During the driving process, if the engine suddenly appears high temperature, you can let the engine continue to run in the idle state for a period of time, and then turn on the air conditioning warm air, and use the air conditioning warm air to help the engine dissipate heat. Or open the hood and use natural winds to help cool down the engine.
After the engine temperature drops, don't rush to drive on the road, first check the coolant in the car, whether the water level in the water tank is enough. If the engine cannot be cooled normally due to insufficient coolant or insufficient amount of water in the tank, the coolant should be added in time. If it is not caused by these factors, it is necessary to send the sales to the 4S store for inspection in time.
What impact will the engine have on the car if it is not treated at a high temperature for a long time?
1. Accelerate the wear of internal parts of the engine. The engine itself is in a high temperature and high pressure environment, if the working temperature exceeds the normal temperature, it will cause the engine parts to expand and deform, and destroy the harmony between the parts. Moreover, the high temperature environment will affect the quality of the lubricating oil, resulting in a decrease in viscosity, which will cause the wear between the engine parts to become heavier over time.
2, resulting in increased fuel consumption. The engine cannot operate in a normal environment, the power may not reach the best state, and the car's fuel supply system will also be abnormal.
3, the engine work efficiency declines, the driving speed is relatively slow. If the engine temperature is too high, the gasoline mixture in the cylinder cannot be completely burned, and the kinetic energy of the conversion will decrease. The power transmitted by the gearbox is reduced, and the speed of the car is slower.
summary:
As the most important component of the car, the engine is crucial for driving safety. When you find that the engine temperature is abnormal, do not panic, first stop the vehicle to check the cause of the temperature abnormality, if you do not know how to check, call the 4S shop or repair shop to tow the car back to check. Regardless of continuing to drive, the car will be scrapped early.
