High engine temperatures are big troublefor every car owner. Probably, each of us saw "Zhiguli" and "Gazelles" standing on the side of the road with "boiling" engines, especially in summer. In general, the engine operating temperature should not exceed 90 degrees Celsius. If the temperature indicator goes into the red scale, it threatens with increased wear of all parts and components of the engine up to a complete failure. The best motor protection against overheating is, of course, prevention. Therefore, in order not to once again buy new parts after such incidents, below we give the basic rules so that the engine's operating temperature always remains within the normal range.
Radiator cooling
It is this element that affects the heating orengine cooling. The intensity of the cooling will also determine the engine's operating temperature. VAZ 2112, like many other cars, is often equipped with special blinds in the winter (pieces of cardboard are taken in the budget version), which are placed under the grille. They reduce the flow of cold air, so the engine's operating temperature increases significantly. In contrast to winter, in summer such devices are dismantled, and radiators are sometimes replaced with larger ones. For example, "Gazelists" put 3-section radiators instead of the standard 2-section. The area of penetration of cold air increases by 1.5 times, so the risk of overheating is significantly reduced. Such actions can be performed with any other car, even the "ten". Then the working temperature of the engine VAZ 2110 will always be normal.
Tightness
Lower part of an internal combustion engineshould always be closed or at least half covered. The less air gets underneath the hot asphalt, the lower the engine's operating temperature. It is advisable to slightly open the hood to the position until the protective safety lock is activated. Often, the owners of "Zhiguli" and "Gazelles" place a plastic bottle in this slot, so that there is more air trapping. But it is desirable to do this only when the engine's operating temperature reaches 95 degrees or more (or a millimeter from the red scale).
Thermostat
This detail directly affects the temperature andAntifreeze condition in the radiator. To the internal combustion engine in the summer, not "boiling", you can remove this item from the car. But at the same time, the small circle of cooling should be suppressed, otherwise there will be no sense from such actions. Sometimes drivers with a 90-degree thermostat install 80- and 70-degree parts for more efficient cooling.
And one more thing: in order for antifreeze to cool the engine effectively, it is necessary to replace it in time. Antifreeze merges about once every three months.
Conclusion
If you follow these rules, the operating temperature of your car's engine will always be in the green scale.
