What should you do if the engine is overheating in summer traffic jams. ...

The standard engine is sort of Nice worked with its working temperature is in the 90s, but once there was heat, followed by traffic jams, the engine suddenly begins to detonate, abruptly lose power, and cost you only look at the temperature sensor, we begin to see with horror that the coolant temperature arrow is long and is located in the red zone ...
In this case, we need immediate action to quickly turn on the stove and leave to the side, open the hood and using the cloth open valve cover from the heatsink. But this should be done carefully, you have a hard push on the valve and slowly release it to hot water together with the ferry could go out rather than splash out razgorâčennogo car radiator on driver ...
 

But in order not to bring the case to an end (engine overheating willy-nilly will affect its share, and on the subsequent sale) before the summer season to spend the capital to prevent the cooling system of the whole car:
First of all draw attention to the thermostat. If it is podklinivaet and really won't work outside the cooling circuit, the result is obvious-overheating and premature exit motor malfunction. To determine whether the outer circuit, then touched the ball the rubber inlet and outlet hoses radiator. If they are hot, then everything is fine, if not, then such a faulty thermostat, podklinivšim will just be dangerous to travel on summer roads.
On the pipe. If they have already been covered by a network of small cracks, then they need to be immediately replaced with new. Would be very sad if the clamp will break weak rubber tube and have to frantically look for zamatyvat′ or electrical tape-break and then poured the entire cooling first got water.
About the water. If the engine is new, it is most advisable to pour the distilled water cooling system. Of course, such a treat is not cheap, but the result is obvious-the complete lack of scale in the first years of operation. If the scale has already formed, then half a cup of soda, dissolved in water, can help relieve the scum in the internal parts of the engine cooling jacket and, of course, in the radiator. How does it work? Pour the mixture into the engine running and leave it to work for about 10-15 minutes, but no more, because if you start this process, the soda can corrode the thin copper tube radiator and its need to solder. This need for caution.
Very often it happens that if the driver had to move a lot at night on summer roads, the midges alarm because the headlights, moping, forming a dense layer on the windshield, headlamps, radiator grill. If the lights or windshield wash and rub hard enough, then if a radiator is all a bit complicated. Will have to look for a garden hose and a powerful jet from the inside out to wash the entire accented grille to complete cleaning.
In those councils there is nothing complex,-the important thing is to not be lazy and do all necessary repair and preventive surgery at the time.
