Smoke coming out of your car, apart from the exhaust pipe, is not a great sight. It is a clear sign that there is something wrong with your vehicle, no matter what kind of car it is. If the smoke or steam is coming from the front or the engine, it could be a clear sign that your car is overheating. There are different reasons why your car might overheat. Here are some of the most common ones:

Radiator Is Too Small

If your radiator is too small, it might not be able to handle the cooling needs of your car engine, especially during hot weather. it is important to equip your car with the right size radiator so that it doesn’t get overworked, especially during the summertime.

Water Pump Failure

The water pump is responsible for pushing the coolant through the engine and radiator. If it fails, the coolant will not be circulated and your engine will overheat.

Thermostat Is Stuck Closed

The thermostat is responsible for regulating the flow of coolant in the engine. If it gets stuck closed, it will not allow enough coolant to flow, causing the engine to overheat.

Leaking or Burnt Coolant

If there is a leak in your cooling system, or if the coolant is burnt, it will not be able to effectively do its job, causing your car to overheat.

Fan Is Not Working Properly

The fan is responsible for drawing air through the radiator to help cool the engine. If it is not working properly, the engine will overheat.

What Should You Do When Your Car Overheats?

Steam or smoke coming out of your vehicle is a clear sign that your car is overheating. If your car overheats, it is best to pull over and don’t force you to drive your car. If your car is overheating, the last thing you want to do is to drive it because that will just result in damaging the engine. A damaged engine is very expensive to repair or replace.
