OVERHEATING CAR CAUSES:
Cooling Fan
If the radiator fan stops working, the coolant temperature will slightly drop as it passes through the radiator, which can cause overheating. Fan malfunctions can be caused by broken fan blades, failed fan motor, faulty wiring, or a failing fan clutch
Failed Water Pump
A failing water pump can prevent the coolant from being pushed along. Without the pump, the coolant flow to the radiator stops causing it to overheat.
Low Oil Level
Your vehicles motor oil plays a big role in lubrication. If the level is too low it can cause heat build up. There can result in overheating if the excess heat is too great due to lack of lubrication.
Faulty Temperature Sensor
If you have an electrical fan, the temperature sensor sends power to the fan when the fan reaches a certain temperature, this causes the fan to lower the coolant temperature. If the sensor fails, the fan will not receive the electricity it needs to operate.
Stuck Thermostat
The engines thermostat should stay open at a specific temperature to allow the coolant to flow into the radiator for cooling. If the coolant is not changed regularly there is a chance that the thermostat can collect build up and not allow the flow to go through properly.
Low Coolant Level
If you have low coolant, the coolant system cant absorb the heat from the engine and cool it. This can cause overheating in your vehicle. If your coolant is very low there is likely a coolant leak. Keep in mind that not all coolant leaks are on the outside it can also be inside your engine.
