UTV 400 overheating can be a frustrating experience since it  leaves long term damages to your UTV. It can even lead to expensive repair and replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your UTV might be overheating due to clogged radiator, faulty pump and thermostat, trapped air, leaked hoses and any other potential cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we are going to discuss the potential reasons  for UTV overheating and damages it can cause to your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Reasons Of UTV 400 Overheating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some reasons for UTV 400 overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Faulty temperature sensor and fan can be the reason for overheating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If the water pump doesn\u2019t work effectively then it can cause the engine to overheat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A clogged radiator contains dirt and debris that causes overheating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Another reason of overheating is leaked and damaged hoses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Overworking UTV generates more heat and leads to overheating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Faulty thermostat causes the engine to overheat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Some UTVs work on automatic transmission and overheating affects it badly by tearing the internal components and lubrication of the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to fix it<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. First of all you need to know which part and components are damaged<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Once you locate the faulty parts then try to repair them<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. If those parts cannot be repaired then replace them with the new<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Lubricate the engine properly to see if it fixes the problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. You can take help of the instruction manual for replacing old and damaged parts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Take the UTV for a test drive just to check if it is functioning properly otherwise consult an expert to avoid further complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Overheating causes much damage to the engine. It severely damages cylinder heads, pistons and rings, blown gaskets and spark plugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Engine cannot work without these components so it is mandatory to keep an eye on them to make your vehicle work effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to fix it<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Overheating affects the blown gasket and spark plug so you need to check it first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. If these components are damaged then repair them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Disconnect the spark plug wires and check for cracks and leaks. If repairing is not possible then go for replacement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Install a new gasket, connect the wire and run the engine to make sure it is working properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Consult the vehicle manual for doing all kinds of repairs and replacements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        UTVs work on electrical systems and overheating affects its internal wires, fuses, connectors and battery to a great extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sometimes it just needs little fixing otherwise battery replacement becomes necessary for proper functioning of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        How to fix them<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. First of all try to find the exact place of damage and use a multimeter for this purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Then repair faulty wires, fuses and battery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. If they cannot be repaired then replace them with new parts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Install the internal components and run your UTV to check if everything is working properly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Trapped Air<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

          Sometimes air and debris accumulates in the engine pipes and it blocks coolant flow in the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Then engine becomes hotter and effects its performance by causing overheating<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Locate the air bleeder screws in the cooling system of UTV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Open them with the help of a wrench or pliers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Then fill the coolant in the coolant reservoir until it reaches full mark but avoid its overfilling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Then start the engine and as soon as the engine warms up trapped air travels through air bleeder screws.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Take your UTV for a drive to check if it is working properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Conclusion<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            In short , UTV overheating is due to trapped air, broken fan, leaked hoses, faulty engine and thermostats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            It damages the internal and transmission components of engine, its electrical system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            We have discussed all causes alongwith their possible solutions to make things easy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            If you are still confused and do not know what to do then it is better to consult a professional to get things fixed in a proper way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
