While a regular inspection of your vehicle in Shelburne, VT can help to reduce the number of times your vehicle overheats, unexpected overheating can still be an issue. Many consumers contact MINI of Burlington with concerns about overheating and discover that they have a problem with their coolant. In some situations, the coolant system is malfunctioning or leaking. Other times, vehicle owners may have forgotten to add coolant.
You may also be experiencing issues with your water pump or your radiator. Your water pump keeps your engine cool by constantly circulating water, and the radiator's fans help decrease the temperature of the vehicle's coolant. If either of these systems malfunction, you may have a leak.
If you do not have enough oil in your car, your vehicle can overheat. You may also experience trouble with overheating if your thermostat fails because your vehicle will no longer be able to regulate the temperature of the engine.
