Engine Temperature Stuck at 160°F With Weak Heater Output

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner reported that the engine temperature was staying at 160°F under all driving conditions, including short trips and highway driving, for a few days. The heater was also not blowing as warm as usual.

What we found and did

The technician installed a new coolant temperature sensor and let the owner know the gauge may read differently than it did when the vehicle came in, since many vehicles actually operate between 195 and 220 degrees. The team also performed a BG complete coolant system flush, using the BG machine to withdraw and flush out all fluids from the engine and radiator, then refilled the system with new fluid using a BG fluid kit. The work was completed in one visit at our Frostproof shop.

FAQ

Cooling System Repair in Frostproof: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Frostproof.

Can I just add coolant and keep driving?

You can get home that way. But coolant doesn't get used up the way oil does, so if the level dropped, it went somewhere. Topping off without finding the leak means you'll be doing it again, usually at a worse time and in a worse place.

Does running the AC make overheating worse?

It can. The AC condenser sits right in front of the radiator and adds heat exactly where the radiator is trying to shed it, and the compressor puts extra load on the engine. If your car only runs hot with the AC on in traffic, that's a real clue, and the fans are the first thing we test.

Will a coolant flush fix overheating?

Sometimes, if the coolant is old and contaminated and heat transfer has fallen off. More often overheating is a failed part, and a flush just delays finding it. We'd rather test first and tell you which situation you're in.

What kind of coolant does my car take?

It depends on the manufacturer, and the types aren't interchangeable. Mixing them can cause gelling and corrosion inside the system. We look up the specification for your vehicle rather than pouring in whatever says universal on the jug.

How do you know it isn't a head gasket?

There's a test for it. We check the coolant for combustion gases and watch how the system behaves under pressure. That gives a specific answer rather than a guess, and we'd rather rule it out early than have you find it after paying for other parts.
