1. Rusty radiator
If you notice that the coolant has a strange color, contains dirt or is thick with rust, it is a sign that the radiator is rusted. The rust on the radiator wall has changed the coolant. If this happens, you need to replace the radiator to ensure the quality of the engine coolant.
2. The radiator is clogged
The water tank has many small and narrow pipes, which will accumulate rust after a long time of use. At that time, the water will not be able to circulate well, increasing the water pressure on the tank wall and causing leaks... You need to check the water tank flushing and clean the water tank immediately when there is a phenomenon of clogged water pipes.

3. The epoxy welds of the water tank are broken.
After a long time of working under pressure, with chemicals and high temperatures, the epoxy welds of the water tank can be worn, broken, causing leaks in the water tank. If this happens, you should check and re-weld the water tank.
4. Thermostat failure
The thermostat is responsible for controlling the flow of coolant through the radiator when the temperature increases, keeping the water in the engine when it is not hot enough to absorb heat. If the thermostat is broken, it cannot automatically open when the water temperature increases, the water will not circulate through the radiator, causing the engine temperature to increase, causing damage. The solution is to replace the valve as soon as it is broken.
5. The coolant tank overflows.

If this phenomenon occurs, the gasket of the cover with the engine body may be damaged, the cylinder head is not tightened tightly or the radiator of the cooling system may be clogged. In addition, it is also due to cracks in the engine cylinder.
6. Broken water pump
The water pump is responsible for circulating water through the cooling system; if the pump fails, the water will not circulate and the engine will overheat. Water pumps usually have a long lifespan, but if they fail, you will need to replace them immediately.
7. Broken cooling fan
Cooling fans when used for a long time in high temperature often have the insulation layer melted, causing the motor to be damaged, the plastic fan blades are also more likely to break. If the fan is damaged, it should be replaced with a new one, avoid leaving it for a long time.
8. Leaking water pipes

Water pipes are usually made of rubber, which can easily wear out, become brittle, and break over time. In many cases, the pipes become brittle and cracked, causing coolant to leak. If this happens, you should replace them immediately to ensure that the coolant is not lacking.
