Why is my car overheating?

There are several potential reasons your car might be overheating:

Coolant Issues
Low coolant levels or a leak in the coolant system can cause overheating. Check the coolant level and look for any leaks.

Thermostat Problems
A faulty thermostat might not open properly, preventing coolant from circulating through the engine.

Radiator Issues
A blocked or damaged radiator can restrict the flow of coolant, leading to overheating.

Water Pump Failure
The water pump circulates coolant through the engine. If it fails, coolant circulation stops, causing the engine to overheat.

Radiator Fan Problems
If the radiator fan isn’t working correctly, it won’t cool the coolant effectively.

Hoses and Belts
Broken or leaking hoses and belts can disrupt coolant flow and cause overheating.

Head Gasket Failure
A blown head gasket can allow coolant to leak into the engine, causing overheating and possible engine damage.
