Why Overheating is the Silent Killer of Singapore Cars in Malaysia
While a flat battery is an inconvenience, an overheating engine is a potential disaster. The intense heat of Malaysia, combined with long drives and heavy traffic, puts immense strain on your car's cooling system. For Singaporean cars that are used to shorter, city-based journeys, this can be a major shock to the system.
Cooling System Leaks: A small leak in a hose or the radiator can lead to a gradual loss of coolant, causing the engine to overheat.
Faulty Thermostat or Water Pump: These components are crucial for circulating coolant. If they fail, the engine can overheat very quickly.
Clogged Radiator: Over time, radiators can become clogged with sediment, reducing their efficiency.
Broken Radiator Fan: In slow-moving traffic, the radiator fan is essential for pulling air through the radiator. If it fails, the engine will overheat.
