Default Re: Hot Engine

The time proven tip regarding engine overheating is that if it overheats while at idle or low speed, low coolant circulation is the cause. If it heats at highway speeds, the problem is poor air circulation through the radiator, usually due to blockage of the fins, or separation of the fins from the tubes of the radiator. All cooling systems lose efficiency over time due to these factors. Overheating was rare when the vehicles were new.
