Q:

Why does the engine overheating happen?

A) Due to a broken fan belt B) Due to excess coolant
C) Due to an open thermostat D) Due to the stuck radiator pressure cap
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Due to a broken fan belt

Explanation: The engine overheating happens due to a broken fan belt. When a fan is broke, it cannot cool the hot water. It should be capable of removing about 30% of the heat from the combustion chamber.
