- Cost : $50-$150
- The thermostat regulates the flow of coolant through the engine, preventing overheating. A faulty thermostat can cause the engine to overheat or run too cool.
2. Faulty Water Pump:
- Cost: $150-$350
- The water pump circulates coolant throughout the engine. A faulty water pump can lead to poor coolant circulation and overheating.
3. Clogged Radiator:
- Cost: $100-$300
- The radiator dissipates heat from the coolant. A clogged radiator restricts coolant flow, causing the engine to overheat.
4. Stuck or Malfunctioning Cooling Fan:
- Cost $100- $300
- The cooling fan helps cool the radiator and engine. A stuck or broken fan can lead to overheating.
5. Coolant Leak:
- Cost : Varies depending on the location of the leak
- A leak can cause the coolant level to drop, resulting in overheating.
6. Head Gasket Failure:
- Cost: $700-$1500+
- The head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block. A blown head gasket can allow coolant into the cylinder, causing overheating and other issues.
7. Water Hose issues
- Cost $100-$200+
- Cracked or damaged radiator hose that leak coolant could cause overheating.
