A bad internal knocking sound; excessive smoke out of the exhaust pipe when running; overheating; no power on exceleration; these are a few of the first indications.
As long as the engine is running you will have power assisted steering. With the engine not running you will not have power assist and it will be hard to turn but turn-able. If the engine is overheating it would be wise to pull over and park when safe to do so and shut off the engine before expensive damage is done to the engine.
Engine overheating or cooling fan running all the time.
After the engine has cooled to a certain temp, it should shut off. If it is running constantly, this is an indication the engine is overheating.
Overheating the engine - usually by running low on water or a waterleak causing same thing.
You can warp the head and crack the block if you keep it running for too long while its overheating, that's only two things. Fix the problem before you blow the engine.
you need to see a car specialist because it is obviously broken. It is something to do with the bracket in the engine compartment
Sounds like the engine seized up from overheating or running without oil, although there could be other causes.
Thermostat probably needs replacing They can stick not allowing enough water to flow around the engine block If the engine overheats it can warp the head or blow the head gasket
This is usually accomplished by either forgetting to refil the crankcase after an oil change, or by running the engine out of oil by not routinely checking the oil level, and adding the appropriate amount when it's running low. It is also possible to seize an engine by overheating it.
Depending on what you mean running?? If it is the engine that stops running then it could be something electrical like alternator not charging battery, mechanical malfuction like broken timming belt or water pump, no oil in engine, overheating, extremely worn spark plugs, or catastrophic engine damage.
The fan is usually meant to cool the radiator. It shouldn't be anything to worry about. Since the radiator cools the antifreeze that has come from and circulates through the engine, as long as the fan is running, the coolant is remaining at a good temperature and you won't have to worry about overheating.
