What to do when the "boil" the engine?

Overheating of the power unit can result in blown head gasket. Since our reaction depends on whether or avoid serious faults. What to do?
If you drive suddenly begin to emit clouds of steam from the mask, does not bode no good. Continued driving with an overheated engine would be fatal for him. You should immediately pull over and turn off the car.
Symptoms of overheating the motor can not miss. The first is the temperature above 90 degrees, which is still growing. The second symptom is mentioned above, clouds of steam. With the coolant temperature is also increasing its pressure. For inside the system there was no explosion, hot steam when the pressure reached about 1.5 bar and temperatures around 130 degrees Celsius escapes through a special valve in the lid of the container allowance. Do not then unscrew the lid, it is very hot.
In the meantime, look for the causes of failure. At the beginning of a magnifying glass you have to take the radiator fan. Should turn on when the coolant temperature reaches about 100 degrees. His failure is a common cause of engine overheating. Another common cause is called. suspension of the thermostat. The most severe consequences of failure could be the water pump. The blurring of the bearings often will break the timing belt.
When the liquid has cooled, you can already make up the loss. An ad hoc basis to help increase the heating temperature. Then escort the engine a little heat. However, we did not miss a visit to the mechanic. Do not forget to regularly check the coolant level in the tank. It would take just a moment, and can save a lot of trouble.
