Many drivers make the same mistake after stopping the car, which ultimately leads to engine failure. This was warned by an experienced motorist who explained what these consequences are.
According to the expert, in the course of their operation, car engines that have been cared for heat up to the limit. If you shut down the power plant immediately after stopping, without letting it cool down, this can lead to serious consequences for the engine itself, as well as other nodes and units.
Moreover, there can be problems with ordinary atmospheric engines, explains the motorist. Especially after working under loads, for example, when driving in traffic. An overheated motor is turned off, and at the same time, the operation of the radiator fan and the circulation of antifreeze stop. All this has a detrimental effect on the condition of gaskets, other rubber seals and the engine itself.
Experts recommend letting the engine cool down after stopping, at least 20-30 seconds by letting it work at idle speed. The key indicator will be the operation of the fan. If it stopped working, it means the motor has cooled down and you can turn it off.
