A leak in the cooling system – It is one of the main reasons for engine overheating. If there’s a leak in the radiator, water pump, hoses, or head gasket, your engine won’t cool properly. You should get your car professionally checked.
Issues with the coolant – You may face issues with your coolant even if there’s no leak in the system. If you’ve put a wrong coolant in your car, or if the coolant-to-water ratio is off, your engine may have problems staying cool.
Blocked Hose – If there’s no leak and the coolant is installed correctly; you would want to check your coolant hose. Sometimes dirt can get into your coolant and block the flow of fluid through your hose. You are advised to flush the system and refill your coolant tank once again.
Problems with the radiator – Another very common cause of engine overheating is a problem with your radiator. Leaks or clogs, with the radiator fan, means that heat can’t properly escape your vehicle, which may cause the temperature to rise.
