Engine Bay is Too Hot - what to do
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- When the engine bay is too hot, it means excess friction is being produced. This leads to wasted energy that could have originally been used for moving the car. The test for the excess heat is when you open the hood/ bonnet of your car and feel a wall of heat from the engine bay. The car's components can be touched when the engine has been turned OFF. Usually worn bearing etc will produce scalding hotness, so be careful. You can use a heat detecting gun for safety.

This is the exact thing I was looking for . My engine started getting too hot but temperatures say it’s at normal operating temperatures. I used the wrong oil and then it started happening
In summer, I take out the front seal under the hood and cut the rear seal to make the engine cool down better. Rear seal only cut away from the AC and heater vents.
Same too my honda
Engine bay get hot esp when car speed is below 20kmph or in stop go traffic. Otherwise at speeds above 50kmph, air keep engine bay relatively cool
This video explores other ways the engine bay is hot.
I had exactly the same issue on my 2004 Honda Accord. Changing PCV valve fixed the issue.
Having sane with my cad dts....engine gets extremely hot cant even chec fluid levels or nothing...temp gauge is not high its in normal range....i dont kno what it is gonna chec thermostat to be on safe side
Take the auxiliary belt off when it's cold and rotate with your hands everything that turns...alternator, pulleys, tensioner, ac compressor....anything that runs roughly needs changing.
Thanks, My 2008 Honda Civic is super hot in the engine bay, cant even touch some parts. The coolant is new, temps are ok but still something is super hot. I think my alternator or some other pulley bearing is toast. The 4 pin connector on the alternator broke like a biscuit due to the heat, I hope I can fix it this week, get the alternator checked.
Something like this is happening to my ST204 Celica... only because I didn't bother with sourcing a heat shield for the exhaust manifold. I'm afraid something might happened to engine's wiring... Currently a mechanic of mine is investigating the issue.
@@PrekiFromPolandany updates and it the problem fixed?
@@southbayla3137 ECU issue - one capacitor was blown and it had to be replaced and the PCB had to be cleaned from the leak.
Forgot one thing. Take the engine cover off. It will drop your temp by 20 degrees
are you joking?
@@griddyyyyyy only one way to find out! Let's do it.
@@dc5_pinoy246 what happened? I'm eager 2 kno ..
waits until minute 5:35 that the extra heat in the engine bay was caused by a worn pulley , bad alternator bearings, ac clutch
DEAR pine.... I GOT HEAT COMING OUT FROM MY ENGINE BLOWING STRAIGHT INTO MY CAR`S CABIN WITH HEAT OFF WEIRD OR WHAT HOW CAN I FIX IT CANT FIND ANY VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC ?
Open it up like in one of my videos how to stop leaks in the footwell of his hands civic.
I think you are missing a rain guide plate...watch my video and you will see which plate I mean.
I had this issue on my 2.2 when i was thrashing it a bit and hit traffic and turned the engine off and on while stationary - i did hear some liquid sounds too - I changed the the oil and coolant and it has not seemed to be an issue since although my mpg isnt that great - did you find any other culprits since posting the video?
If I remember it was worn bearings on belt rollers, worn bearing on alternator changed thermostat to be sure.
I have the very same issue with my old mazda 323 familia 1997. It gets excessively hot, even the engine. Please need assistance.
Do the temperature test...run it turn engine off and feel where the heat is coming from
Thank you so much
I have a 2019 Subaru Legacy and the hood and headlight gets too hot to the touch. Why is this happening to a fairly new car. Only has 36,000 miles
Do the obvious and check coolant levels...check the temp gauge as an obvious one as well. If the temp gauge says normal, then work through all the points I suggested, for example alternator, pulleys, stuck AC compressor...all with engine running, but you testing it when engine stopped, of course. Don't want to be checking by hand if engine is running. A heat sensitive laser pointer/ reader/ meter will also help. Must be excess friction from somewhere. Good luck.
i own a chery qq same thing is happening with my car engine bay is extremely hot ... and it always bursts my water hoses
Same here all the front of the car is hotter than it should be i mean its 100°F outside but still i think its alil hotter thab it should be, i will have to go to the mechanic shop so they can check everything is working ok.
Must be over 50yrs old, the stories keep popping up in the middle of his explanation on overly hot engines
What does experience have to do with age? The dude could just be a mechanic.
i have a chery qq 0.8L 3 cylinder engine .. i am facing same issue engine bay is too hot and have a pathetic gas mileage .. its just an 800cc engine .. here are the things which i did but didnt get any result
1. No Thermostat took it out parmanently
2. Changed fresh engine oil
3. Changed fresh Transmission Oil
4. New Air Filter
5. New Spark Plugs
6. Cleaned injectors
7. Cleaned throttle body
after all efforts its still the same
check bearings of rollers such as pulleys and alternator
@@EducationPineapple ive checked each and everything all is good ...
@@maxpain0007 Find out where the most heat is coming of. Sounds like you've been using hard water instead of distilled or deionised water in your radiator.
yes my country is a warm place and temperatures reach more than 50 degrees Celsius .. and the heat comes from engine too much and it is giving me mileage of not more than 5 kilometer per litre
@@maxpain0007 that is about 11mpg...I would start with concentrating on all of the cooling system. Flush the engine coolant. Make sure you have no air in the coolant. Fans are working. Water pump is functioning properly.
I've just bought a Honda civic 2.2 cdti. I'm having a major issue where my car will only start when I'm getting a friend to pump the hand primer while I push the start button. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
Research: locate fuel filter and pump. Try changing the fuel filter. Try changing the fuel pump likely located in the fuel tank.
@@EducationPineapple excellent thanks for the reply 👍
Gawd damn,
