One of the primary reasons an engine will overheat is because of low coolant levels. When coolant levels are too low, it will cause the cooling system to malfunction. Coolant is going to decrease over time, so it is important to keep optimal levels in your engine at all times. In addition, a faulty water pump, failed thermostat, or damaged radiator can also be a cause for engine overheating.
