Why Is My Engine Overheating?

If your engine is overheating, the culprit is almost always your coolant system! After all, your coolant is designed to prevent exactly that from happening! There are several components in your coolant system that, if not functioning properly, can cause your engine to overheat. Let’s dive into them, shall we?

Malfunctioning Fan Clutch

There are a variety of fan clutch types out there but, at the end of the day, they’re all responsible for two things. Engaging your cooling fan when your engine is too hot, and disengaging it when it’s not needed. If this functionality is absent, your engine’s going to overheat. If your cooling fan simply doesn’t engage when needed, you may have a faulty thermostat or the unit itself may need to be replaced. This is a very common issue and is typically due to wear and tear.

Plugged Radiator

Engine coolant is like any other fluid. Expose it to too much heat over too long of a time and it starts to break down! As it breaks down, it leaves sludge and other debris behind. This debris can clog up vital coolant lines in your radiator, therefore preventing your system from dispersing enough radiant heat! Not to mention it puts more stress on your water pump and causes even more issues to your coolant system. Fortunately, we here at Reed Repair have the tools and equipment to flush out clogged radiators in no time at all!
