water temp gauge climbs high on dodge dakota

• 2022-06-24

The water contained in ordinary coolant will form a water vapor barrier layer on the cylinder wall of the engine, which will hinder heat dissipation, cause engine failure and shorten engine life. Some drivers with conditions should preferably use an "anhydrous coolant" on the market. This kind of coolant does not contain water, so as to avoid the formation of air barrier layer and fundamentally overcome the damage of water or aqueous cooling medium to the engine. It will makes the water temp gauge climbs high on dodge dakota.

We'd better form a good habit of cleaning the radiator fins regularly, which will improve the heat dissipation effect of the dodge dakota engine. In order to prevent the engine from overheating, take a rest in time while driving. Try to choose a cool place during the rest, and open the engine hood for ventilation and heat dissipation. If the problem cannot be solved by reducing the speed, the pointer of the thermometer is close to the high end. At this time, the owner must stop the car to "reduce the fever" and gradually cool the engine. If necessary, cold water can be poured on the radiator, but it should be noted that the engine must not be washed with water.

Corrosion, scale and other deposits will inevitably form in the cooling system . They are poor conductors of heat, which are easy to cause poor coolant flow and reduced heat dissipation , resulting in engine overheating, water tank boiling and heating failure . You can choose a safe (non corrosive) and efficient water tank cleaner to completely remove the scale, rust and other harmful substances in the cooling system and quickly restore the function of the cooling system.

Methods : 1. Open the water tank cover, extract part of the coolant, and leave room for adding water tank detergent ; 2. Add water tank cleaning agent to the water tank ; 3. Start the engine and operate it at normal operating temperature for several hours ; 4. Shut down the engine, vent the system and wash it with clean water until the discharged water is free of rust ; 5. Refill the water tank with coolant ; 6. To protect the coolant system and prevent leakage, add 1 tank of water tank protective agent and 1 tank of water tank leakage stopping agent.
