2005 f150 water temp gauge hot nothing overheating

Fault phenomenon of high water temperature: the engine water temperature pointer swings to the red area; The cooling fan is in the maximum state; Insufficient coolant; When the car is driving, the power suddenly disappears, and there are sounds such as violent knocking and cylinder knocking, which are mostly caused by overheating of the engine. The normal water temperature of the engine is between 85-95 degrees Celsius. When the water temperature is too high, the viscosity of the engine oil will become thin, and the lubrication performance will decline. When the piston, valve and other components are running at high speed, they are easy to deform, causing the engine to be weak. In serious cases, they will also pull the cylinder and hold the bearing of the crankshaft, causing the engine to need overhaul. The fault causes and treatment methods of the high water temperature of the engine are as follows:

1.The engine temperature is too high due to insufficient cooling water in the cooling system. It is necessary to stop the engine and add coolant after the engine is cooled;

2.The water pump and fan belts are too loose or broken, causing the engine temperature to be too high. You need to go to the repair shop to replace relevant parts;

3.The radiator shield net or radiator core ventilation duct is blocked by sundries, resulting in poor heat dissipation, resulting in excessive engine temperature. It is necessary to replace the heat dissipation shield or clean up sundries;

4.The engine temperature is too high due to insufficient engine oil or unqualified engine oil quality. Just change the high-quality engine oil.

Treatment of 2005 f150 car water temp gauge hot nothing overheating: if you find that the water temperature is too high due to the loss of coolant, you can add a small amount of distilled water for emergency (note that do not open the water tank cover when the temperature is high, there is a risk of scalding); For the problem of high water temperature caused by vehicles running for a long time, you can pull over, turn on the hazard warning light, and then let the vehicle cool naturally; If the cooling fan is damaged, you also need to find the nearest repair shop for maintenance as soon as possible; When the thermostat is damaged, the small circulation should be blocked during disassembly, so as to ensure that all the coolant is dissipated by the water tank.
