Engine Overheating: The Suzuki Alto Lapin’s small engine can struggle in Pakistan’s intense heat, especially during long drives o r in slow-moving traffic in cities like Karachi o r Lahore. The engine’s cooling system may fail to keep up with the high temperature, causing the engine to overheat.
Cooling System Issues: Common problems include the radiator fan failing to activate properly, low coolant levels, o r a clogged radiator. If the coolant is not changed regularly o r if the engine coolant temperature sensor malfunctions, the engine might overheat, potentially leading to engine damage.
Common Signs of Overheating: Overheating can be noticed through the temperature gauge in the dashboard o r by steam rising from the engine. If ignored, it may cause damage to engine components like the head gasket, radiator, o r even the engine block.
Prevention/Tips: To prevent engine overheating, make sure the coolant system is flushed and refilled at recommended intervals. Check for leaks in the cooling system, monitor coolant levels, and ensure that the radiator and hoses are in good condition. In hot weather, avoid heavy loads on the engine and take breaks during long drives to prevent overheating.
