【Owner's home car knowledge】As soon as June is over, summer is really coming. The hot summer weather not only tortures you, but also tests your car.Cars, like people, are prone to failure in the face of high temperatures, among whichThe car "boils"It is a relatively common "vehicle high temperature disease". For some old vehicles,"Open the pot"Sometimes it is unavoidable, so once the pot is boiled, how should we deal with it in order to minimize the loss as much as possible.
1. Stop immediately and wait for rescue
Speaking ofThe car "boils", many drivers are familiar with it, and have seen it more or less. But when it comes to what to do after the car boils, I believe many people will say they don't know. In fact, during the driving process, if the driver finds that the car's water temperature is very high (to the red line of the water temperature gauge) or the engine emits white smoke, the first thing to do is to pull over immediately and turn on the double flashing lights.Then look at whether the vehicle is boiling at low speeds or at high speeds, because in these two cases"Open the pot"The subsequent processing is different.

1. Stop immediately and wait for rescue
Speaking ofThe car "boils", many drivers are familiar with it, and have seen it more or less. But when it comes to what to do after the car boils, I believe many people will say they don't know. In fact, during the driving process, if the driver finds that the car's water temperature is very high (to the red line of the water temperature gauge) or the engine emits white smoke, the first thing to do is to pull over immediately and turn on the double flashing lights.Then look at whether the vehicle is boiling at low speeds or at high speeds, because in these two cases"Open the pot"The subsequent processing is different.
If the boiler is opened while driving at a low speed, the correct way is to pull over immediately, turn off the engine, open the engine compartment cover to dissipate heat, and then call the 4S store to wait for rescue.
If the engine is running at high speed before boiling, the correct way is to pull over the car and park it, and then let the car engine run at idle speed for a period of time, remember not to turn off the engine immediately.because"Open the pot"Before, the engine was running at high speed, and the large amount of heat generated by the engine had not been dissipated. If the engine was turned off at this time, the cooling water in the radiator would not be able to circulate, and the temperature inside the engine would rise rapidly. Therefore, in this case, you should let the car idle on the side of the road for a while before turning off the engine, and at the same time open the engine compartment cover and wait for rescue.
Some people may ask: "Is it okay if I don't stop the car after it boils?". The answer is no.becauseThe car "boils"Finally, the problems in the engine are already very high. If the owner cannot immediately take timely and effective measures to cool down, it is easy to cause the engine to burst, causing great losses. In severe cases, the car can almost be scrapped by itself. so,The car "boils"After that, please pull over immediately.
2. Emergency maintenance
The car "boils"Finally, the best way is definitely to wait for the 4S store to rescue. But if the car is in the suburbs and the repair shop is unwilling to come, the driver can only try some emergency measures by himself.
look firstcarIs it water loss? Is the radiator too dirty? If it is, you can pour water on the radiator to cool down the radiator.But it should be noted that the water mustDo not pour on the engine, or the engineThe surface can deform the relevant part due to localized cooling.
If it is determined, touch the upper and lower water pipes of the water tank to feel the temperature difference. If the temperature difference is large, the thermostat is faulty. At this time, we can only see the driver's hands-on ability. Remove the thermostat, and the car may be able to cope with low-load driving. If you can't remove it, you can only wait for the engine to cool down naturally.
For drivers with strong hands-on ability, you can also consider replenishing the cooling system by yourself.But be sure not to open the water tank cover to add water immediately after parking, becauseAt this time, the water temperature in the water tank is very high and the pressure is also very high. Opening it immediately may cause high-temperature steam to spurt out, causing an accident. It is best to wait for a while before opening it. When opening the water tank cover, it is best to put a towel on it to prevent water vapor from scalding your arms.
Summarize:Although car "boiling" is a "common disease", it can be avoided if the car owner takes early precautions.For example, do a good job of seasonal maintenance when changing seasons. Before leaving the car every day, check whether the water tank is short of water, and fill it up in time if it is found to be short of water.Pay attention to the water temperature gauge at any time while driving.If the water temperature is found to be too high, it is best to choose to pull over and stop for a rest.In addition, in the hot and unbearable weather, if there is a big traffic jam, the car owner should try to turn off the air conditioner in order to save time.Reduce the rate at which the water temperature rises to prevent "boiling".
