Here's why:
* Normal Operating Temperatures: Most modern car engines operate between 80-100 degrees Celsius (176-212 degrees Fahrenheit). This is the ideal range for efficient combustion and lubrication.
* High Temperatures and Damage: Running at 110 degrees Celsius would be well above the normal operating temperature range, leading to:
* Oil breakdown: The engine oil can break down at high temperatures, losing its lubricating properties. This can cause excessive wear and tear on engine components.
* Head gasket failure: The head gasket can be damaged by excessive heat, leading to leaks and potential engine failure.
* Premature wear: High temperatures accelerate wear on all engine components, leading to shortened lifespan.
* Detonation: Engine knocking (detonation) can occur due to excessive heat, damaging engine parts.
If your engine is running at 110 degrees Celsius, there is a serious problem that needs immediate attention. You should take your car to a mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
