• There may be a leak in the cooling system, such as a cracked radiator or hose, allowing coolant to escape.
2. Faulty Thermostat:
• A malfunctioning thermostat can cause the engine to overheat.
3. Radiator Issues:
• If the radiator is clogged or blocked, coolant cannot flow properly, leading to overheating. A faulty radiator cap can also cause coolant loss and overheating.
4. Water Pump Failure:
• A failing water pump cannot circulate coolant effectively, causing the engine to overheat.
5. Faulty Temperature Sensor:
• A faulty temperature sensor can provide incorrect readings, leading to the temperature gauge showing inaccurate information.
6. Air Pockets:
• Air pockets can form in the cooling system, preventing proper coolant circulation and causing overheating.
7. Head Gasket Issues:
• A blown head gasket can allow coolant to leak into the combustion chamber, leading to overheating and coolant smell.
*Note: It's essential to have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the exact issue to prevent further damage to your vehicle.*
