Signs that the vehicle is out of cooling water
Engine temperature monitor increases abnormally
One of the most noticeable signs when the vehicle runs out of cooling water is that the meter temperature increases rapidly to the red area or near the danger zone. If you notice the engine is hotter than normal even though the vehicle is running in stable conditions, it is very likely that the cooling system is having problems due to lack of water.
Excessive heat-emitting engine, acrid smell
Lack of cooling water causes engine temperatures to spike, causing metal parts to overheat. When this happens, you may smell a burning smell from the engine compartment, especially when the vehicle stops after a long distance. This is a serious warning sign that you should not ignore.
Few water or smoke coming from the roof
If you see steam or white smoke rising from the front of the vehicle, the cooling water may be out and the engine is overheating. In this case, turn off the engine immediately, wait for the engine to cool and then check the cooling water level in the tank. Absolutely do not open the water cage cover when the engine is still hot because it can cause serious burns.
Ineffective air conditioners
The cooling system not only affects the engine but also affects the air conditioner's performance. If your vehicle suddenly loses the ability to cool well, even if the air conditioner is turned on at the highest level, the cause may be due to the lack of water in the cooling system to support the heating process.
Signs of cooling water leakage under the vehicle
If you often see green, blue or orange streaks flowing under the car, the cooling system may be leaking. Check the water pipe, water bucket or engine clutch to locate the leak and fix it immediately before the vehicle falls into a serious lack of cooling water.
The engine is unstable, there is a thunderous sound
When there is a lack of cooling water, the engine cannot maintain the optimal temperature, leading to unstable operation, gusting or unusual sound of the channel. If you notice that your vehicle is not running as smoothly as before, check the cooling system immediately.
What to do when the vehicle runs out of cooling water
Stop immediately if you find the engine is too hot or there is smoke rising.
remains the engine cool before opening the water tank cap for inspection.
Add cooling water if the water level drops too low, but use a solution that is suitable for the vehicle.
Check the cause of the leak and take the vehicle to the garage for repair if an incident is discovered.
