When your engine overheats, this can cause some pretty serious damage that can't always be repaired. When repairs are possible, you're looking at some pretty expensive work. There are several reasons why you may experience engine overheating. Let's take a look at some of the causes.
A Leak in Your Cooling System
Your cooling system is pretty complex, and several components can break down. Even the most minor crack in your cooling system can lead to a temperature malfunction. Also, keep an eye out for low levels of coolant.
Water Pump Problems
The water pump must produce enough pressure to keep the coolant flowing freely into the cooling system. There may be erosion that has formed, or leaks may be causing a water pump failure.
Radiator Malfunction
A radiator works along with various fans that keep your engine cool. If your radiator isn't working, you don't have any way to manage the temperature inside of your engine. When the coolant and engine begin to creep up in temperature, this is when overheating occurs.
Failure of Your Thermostat
Your thermostat is designed to regulate the flow of coolant through the radiator system. Your thermostat may be stuck, which leads to coolant not being able to pass through or too much coolant passing through.
Hoses and Belts Need Maintenance
Belts are a common issue in a vehicle that is a few years old. The same goes for hoses. A small hole may have formed in a hose, and you may not be aware that it's there, other than your vehicle overheating slightly after a long drive. This can also affect the coolant flow.

What is the best method for Acura to make the new Integra better? They gave it a stronger chassis, better tires, and greater power. We are therefore happy that the Type S, Integra's impending performance model, will have several handling improvements and a powertrain sourced from the new Honda Civic Type R. At Honda's test facilities in Tochigi, Japan, we drove a Type S prototype. The new model is expected to debut this summer and should provide the over-40 demographic with an alternative to the boisterous Type R.
