Your engine is composed of many different systems. While they can withstand high temperatures generated by a running engine, some components are vulnerable to extreme temperatures from overheating, resulting in damage. Understanding common causes of overheating can help you avoid it happening.
Trouble with your radiator or the coolant flowing through it is a leading cause of overheating. A leak, a broken pump, or coolant running low after a long time are all possible contributing factors. Your radiator can also get clogged with sludge or foreign debris, block coolant from flowing, and cool the engine properly.
Your radiator has a thermostat that governs how coolant moves around your engine. If it fails, engine temperatures will rise due to erratic coolant dispersal. One way your engine dispels heat is with the help of a fan, but if the fan breaks, high temperatures are inevitable.
