3 Reasons Your Car May Be Overheating

August 17th, 2020

Summer heat is brutal in Tucson and precautions should be made to prevent overheating. The three items listed below are common problems that cause overheating,

  1. LOW COOLANT – check the radiator tank and overflow reservoir—it sounds obvious, but it is number one for a reason.
  2. BAD FAN OR FAN CLUTCH - The fan pulls air through the cooling fins of the radiator, no airflow at low speeds causes overheating.
  3. BAD THERMOSTAT VALVE - It regulates engine heat by opening and closing, based on coolant temperature. Valves that get stuck prevent coolant from flowing through the radiator.
