COMMON CAUSES OF OVERHEATING

Several factors can contribute to engine overheating. At Race Ready Auto Repair, we diagnose and address the root causes, which may include:

  • Coolant Leaks: Leaks in the radiator, hoses, or water pump can cause coolant levels to drop, leading to overheating. We identify and repair leaks to keep your cooling system functioning properly.
  • Faulty Thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can prevent coolant from circulating through the engine, causing it to overheat. We replace faulty thermostats to ensure proper coolant flow.
  • Radiator Issues: A clogged or damaged radiator can restrict coolant flow and lead to overheating. We inspect and repair or replace radiators to maintain optimal engine temperature.
  • Water Pump Failure: The water pump is essential for circulating coolant through the engine. If it fails, your engine can quickly overheat. We repair or replace faulty water pumps to keep your cooling system working efficiently.
  • Broken Fan or Belts: The cooling fan and belts play a crucial role in keeping your engine cool. We check and replace damaged fans or belts to prevent overheating.


OUR OVERHEATING SERVICES INCLUDE:

  • Comprehensive Diagnostic: We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause of your engine's overheating. This ensures that we address the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
  • Cooling System Inspection: We thoroughly inspect your entire cooling system, including the radiator, hoses, water pump, and thermostat, to identify any issues that may be causing overheating.
  • Coolant Flush and Refill: Over time, coolant can become contaminated and lose its effectiveness. We perform a coolant flush and refill to keep your cooling system clean and efficient.
  • Thermostat Replacement: If your thermostat is stuck or malfunctioning, we replace it to ensure proper coolant flow and prevent overheating.
  • Radiator Repair/Replacement: Whether your radiator needs repair or replacement, our technicians have the expertise to restore its functionality and prevent future overheating.


SIGNS YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE OVERHEATING

Recognizing the early signs of overheating can help you avoid more serious damage. Look out for:

  • Temperature Gauge Rising: If your dashboard temperature gauge starts to climb, it’s a clear sign that your engine is getting too hot.
  • Steam or Smoke: Steam or smoke coming from under the hood indicates that your engine is overheating and could be at risk of serious damage.
  • Coolant Leaks: Puddles of coolant under your vehicle or a sweet smell from the engine compartment can indicate a leak, leading to overheating.
  • Warning Lights: If your vehicle’s dashboard displays a warning light for the engine or coolant system, it’s important to address the issue immediately.
