Few people know, but the risk of overheating of the internal combustion engine is high not only in summer but also in winter. With prolonged use of the car, its components require replacement or repair, and if this is not done, the internal combustion engine will boil even more often. Therefore, as a rule, stingy motorists face such a problem. But even a good technical condition does not save from this trouble. Nobody is immune from this. That is why this article will be useful to all motorists.
VAZ 2110 engine overheating - causes
Mostly the engine boils because of the cooling system, or rather because of its malfunction. Also, the main reason may be an incorrectly set ignition. And another reason that significantly expands the circle of those who have overheated the engine is low-quality gasoline. It is full of it at our gas stations. So every day wewe run the risk of getting into an unpleasant situation when the engine overheats. VAZ 2106, the causes of breakdowns of which are similar to the "top ten", is also not immune from this. Imported cars boil much less often, but this does not mean that you can not monitor the technical condition of the cooling system.
Overheated engine - what to do?
When you do find yourself in a similar situation, do not panic and do only deliberate actions. When the thermometer needle reaches the red mark, immediately stop driving and turn off the engine. In order to speed up the cooling process of the internal combustion engine, it is recommended to open the hood. While the units are cooling down, in no case open the radiator cap (it is shown in the photo below).
If you open it, there will be a powerful release of 100-degree coolant. In this case, a burn of the hands and face is inevitable. In addition, this fluid must always be sealed, so it cools the motor better and more efficiently. If an experienced driver has overheated the engine, he will wait 10-15 minutes until all systems cool down. Beginners are trying to take various measures in order to cool the metal. One such method is to spray cold water on the cylinder head. Why you should not do this, we will tell you at the end of the article.
While the engine cools down, we wait and do nothing. And only after 10 minutes we open the radiator cap and add antifreeze there. Open the plug only when the pressure in the system drops. You can find out by the elasticity of the upper hose. Pour coolant very carefully and slowly. Make sure that it does not drip onto the hot cylinder head. Next, we start the engine and, if all the sensors show normal values, turn on the stove to full (mode - hot air flow) and reach our destination.
Important to remember
Probably, each of us has heard the advice that after the driver has overheated the engine, it should be doused with cold water. This is fundamentally wrong and dangerous for the motor. Cold water spilled on the surface of the metal is fraught with its deformation, which in practice is expressed in cracks on the cylinder head. So if you want to keep your engine, never follow this advice.

We watch movies and they show how a handsome man gets out of the car first and opens the door for his companion. Is this true in real life?
