Car Overheating Diagnosis & Repair

Car Overheating?

Engine Overheating Diagnosis and Repair

There are many different causes of an engine overheating. Whatever the cause, the engine is overheating because something inside the cooling system is preventing transportation or release of heat. Here are a few common causes for your vehicle overheating:

Radiator malfunction

Overheating could be due to a radiator clog, leaks, or a fan malfunction. A malfunctioning radiator can restrict or stop heat from properly escaping your vehicle, which will in turn cause the temperature to rise. We will be able to diagnose exactly what’s wrong with your radiator and repair the problem.

Water pump failure

The water pump, as the name implies, helps pump and propel engine coolant throughout your cooling system. Any issue associated with the water pump can lead to an overheating engine. Common water pump problems include leaks, shifting of the pump shaft, or eroded impeller vanes.

Thermostat stuck

A broken thermostat might be stuck in the closed position, causing the engine to warm up – and then keep going. No matter how hot the engine gets, the coolant is unable to pass through. This is a real problem and can cause your engine to overheat rapidly.

If your car is overheating, ignoring the problem can cause your engine or cooling system to fail. Don’t ever think that the engine will be okay if your temperature gauge spikes. In the long run, your car and your wallet will thank you for getting off the road as soon as possible. Tow service available if needed. Give us a call or fill out our online form to schedule your appointment.

Glenn Ross Dave’s auto is the best choice for all your repair needs from simple maintenance to full engine rebuilds. I bring my aging fleet vehicle here after having many poor experiences from other repair shops. The staff is nice, accommodating and won’t talk down to you. The mechanics are very knowledgeable and quick with problem solving. I also bring my personal truck here because these guys are observant and pay attention to details. They inform me of concerns that might cause problems or breakdowns later. The costs are fair and they don’t cut corners. This is a family business with several long term employees. I strongly recommend Dave’s Auto for any auto repair need.
