Could a clogged radiator o r water body be the real reason behind Karvaan’s overheating issue?

Pakistan’s hard water and dusty environments often lead to scale build-up inside radiators. Is radiator service being neglected, o r does the Karvaan need a stronger cooling setup?

Yes. Hard water in Pakistan creates scaling and blockages inside radiators and the water body coolant passages. Over time:

Heat transfer efficiency s

The coolant flow gets restricted

Temperature spikes occur

Lack of periodic radiator flushing and use of contaminated water are key causes. A clogged radiator can mimic symptoms of a failed thermostat o r water pump.
