Prufster Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi there, What do you mean with a bit of overheating? Where does the temperature needle goes? The normal should be in the middle... What kind of offroading where you doing? Driving in high revs all the time? The AC shuts down when the vehicle overheats? Probably it is a safety feature. Whenever the engine temperatures goes above a certain level, the ECU starts shutting down non essential systems to reduce the load on the engine... Cheers!

ashok Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 safety issue i guess too or its a warning before the head gets blown up. but what vijey did not mention was that did he check if coolant was sufficient ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebe Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Depending on what level of overheating has been done while offroad. If it max temp once, there are chances that head gasket be saved. But if you still drove on full temperature until car came to halt, then for sure your head gasket is gone and engine coolant/water has been mixed with engine oil. In this case only solution is to fix head gasket (big dent on ur pocket). So drive always with eye open on heat gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
