What to do if you boil the engine

You have to boil the engine. What to do? First you need to understand, which contributed to the overheating and boiling. In fact, the problem can be weight, we look at the most frequent, accounting for the largest percentage of boiling. The first reason may be, as it is banal, simply a lack of coolant or antifreeze. The whole system is designed to cool the engine consists of connecting pipes, clamps, gaskets, and other connecting elements, and the pressure and temperature of the liquid can find a weak spot, from it nobody is insured. As they say, where fine — there and tear. Often under the car there is a lot of spots. So, in most cases it is not even oil, but the leaking cooling system fluid from the tank or from the radiator.


The second common reason may be a drop in the coefficient of cooling of the radiator. The reason may be the weakening of the belt tension or contamination of the radiator fins. Therefore, heat dissipation is performed in an insufficient amount, which causes overheating. Sometimes the failure is minor, e.g. a failure of the thermostat which does not react to temperature rise. Then you straight to the nearest service. Overheating can be caused by a lack of the oncoming air flow, then work the fan. But it is often just not enough. This problem is particularly acute for large cities, where almost nobody goes, and everything is just stuck in traffic. When the engine is idling and does not receive proper cooling.

So, if all the same the engine is started, and the signs can be wallow steam from under the bonnet and a flashing overheat sensor on the dashboard, you must activate the emergency lights and stop the car on the roadside, so as not to disturb other road users. In order for circulation in the cooling system continued, it is best not to turn off the machine and leave it idle. It is also recommended to include interior heating, so that hot air was given more effectively.

It is recommended to raise the hood to increase air flow, but this should be done carefully and preferably with gloves. Do not touch the internal parts, do not loosen the radiator cap or barrel. Should be some time to wait it is usually to cool down, enough for 30-40 minutes, then you can either call a tow truck, or pour antifreeze and switched on the stove to go to the nearest service station. Constantly monitor the temperature, do not let her to a critical point, if the arrow is creeping up — stop.



In order to protect your iron from such trouble, watch the cooling system. Regularly visit the service station, make the lift fan belt. By the way, is good fuel will help you avoid overheating, as high quality fuel does not detonate. Periodically clean the radiator from dirt accumulated there.

If boiling occurred, it is not very good consequences. The fact that many of the details are not tolerant of high temperatures and can be deformed as a result. It can be oil caps, rings on the pistons. The engine will start to "eat oil" as a result of a burn-out system and to refill it often have. Exhaust system will give a grey smoke that suggests a problem. Besides, this is a severe blow to the environment. Therefore, damage is better to prevent than to treat her all the time. Do not bring your car to this condition and it will last you a very long time.
