Quick answer
If the temperature gauge on a Jetour Dashing climbs towards red, a red coolant warning appears or steam comes from the bonnet, stop safely and switch the engine off. Possible causes include low coolant from a leak, a thermostat that stays closed, a radiator blocked by dust, a cooling fan that does not run or a failing water pump. Both UAE versions use a turbocharged petrol engine (the 1.5TCI or the 1.6TGDI), so cooling parts must be matched to your engine by VIN.
Which Dashing this guide covers
Jetour UAE lists two Dashing versions. Both are front-wheel drive with a turbocharged petrol engine, but the engines are different, so cooling parts should not be assumed to fit both. A turbo engine also adds heat through its oil, the turbocharger and the charge air, so the cooling system works hard in a UAE summer.
| Version | Engine | Output | Gearbox |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dashing 1.5T | 1.5TCI, 1,498 mL | 115 kW / 210 N·m | 6-speed DCT |
| Dashing 1.6T | 1.6TGDI, 1,598 mL | 140 kW (190 PS) / 275 N·m | 7-speed DCT |
Not verified: engine codes, coolant type, cooling-system capacity, replacement intervals and the cooling-system layout of each engine. We confirm these per car from the VIN.

Signs a Dashing is running hot
| Sign | When a Dashing owner tends to spot it | Worth writing down |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature reading higher than its usual resting point | Crawling up a multi-storey car-park ramp, a long queue at a toll gate or roundabout, or a fast summer highway run | Road speed, outside heat, A/C on or off |
| Red coolant symbol or cooling message on the cluster | Any time, sometimes with a chime | A photo of the message; then stop safely |
| Steam or a syrupy smell from under the bonnet | Just after parking | Which side of the engine bay it seems to come from |
| Coloured spots under the front bumper | After the car stands overnight | Colour and size of the patch |
| Expansion-tank level lower at each cold check | Over days or weeks | How often you have topped up |
| The turbo pulls less eagerly on hot afternoons | On the 1.5TCI or the 1.6TGDI, both turbocharged | Whether any warning came on at the same time |
| Radiator fan silent with a hot engine, or never stopping | Standing at idle | Whether the A/C was running |
Possible causes on a turbo Dashing
Possible causes include the following. None of them can be confirmed without a proper diagnosis.
- Coolant loss: a split or softened hose, a leaking radiator core or end tank, a weeping water-pump seal, or a cracked expansion tank or cap that no longer holds pressure.
- Thermostat: a thermostat that sticks closed stops coolant reaching the radiator; one stuck open can cause erratic readings.
- Radiator airflow: dust, sand and insects packed between the condenser and radiator reduce cooling at low speed.
- Cooling fan: a fan, relay or fan control fault often shows up first when idling in traffic.
- Water pump: worn bearings or a damaged impeller reduce circulation.
- Sensor: a faulty temperature sensor can show a false high reading, or hide a real one.
- Drive belt: if a belt drives a cooling component on your engine, a slipping or broken belt can affect it.
- Internal fault: coolant entering the combustion chamber, for example through a head gasket, can cause repeated overheating and white exhaust smoke.
Dashing cooling parts by engine version
The Dashing range splits into a 1.5T (1.5TCI with the 6DCT) and a 1.6T (1.6TGDI with the 7DCT), both front-wheel drive (FF). Treat every part below as engine-specific until the VIN says otherwise.
| Part | Symptom it is usually linked to | 1.5T or 1.6T? |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator | Gauge climbs in slow traffic; fins packed with sand | May differ by version; confirmed by VIN |
| Water pump | Weeping at the pump body, whine, slow warm-up of the heater | Engine-mounted, so tied to 1.5TCI or 1.6TGDI |
| Thermostat | Fast rise to hot, or a gauge that never settles | Housing may differ by engine; check by VIN |
| Expansion tank / reservoir | Level keeps falling, cracked plastic, cap that no longer seals | Confirm fitment by VIN |
| Hoses and pipes | Wet joints, soft or swollen rubber, sweet smell | Routing may differ by engine, so order per version |
| Coolant temperature sensor | Erratic gauge with no other signs | Confirm by VIN |
| Belts and pulleys | Squeal at start-up, frayed belt | Belt layout may differ by engine |
| Intercooler | Turbo power fades on hot days; seldom moves the coolant gauge | Both versions are turbocharged; match by VIN |
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Only when the engine is fully cold, look at the coolant level against the marks on the expansion tank. Do not open the cap of a hot radiator or expansion tank: the coolant is under pressure and can scald.
- Look under the front of the car after it has been parked for coloured drips or a damp patch.
- Look along the visible hoses for wet joints, cracks or crusty deposits.
- Look through the front grille at the condenser and radiator for packed dust, sand or leaves.
- With the engine idling and the A/C on, listen for the radiator fan running.
- Note when the gauge rises (idling, highway, climbing, A/C on) and which warnings appear. This helps the workshop.
Stop now, or book a diagnosis?
| Situation on your Dashing | What to do |
|---|---|
| Gauge at red, red temperature warning, steam, or a sudden loss of turbo power | Stop driving. Pull over where it is safe, switch the engine off and let it cool. Keep both the radiator and expansion-tank caps closed while hot. Arrange recovery rather than driving on. |
| White exhaust smoke, or oil that looks milky on the dipstick | Do not keep using the car. These can indicate coolant getting into the engine, which needs a qualified workshop. |
| Reading creeps up but stays out of the red | Ease off, and have it checked within days rather than weeks. Mention the engine version (1.5TCI or 1.6TGDI) when you book. |
| You keep adding coolant but see no puddle | Ask for a cooling-system pressure test; a hidden or internal leak may be the reason. |
| Needle jumps around with no other symptom | A scan of stored fault codes and a sensor check is a sensible first step before replacing larger parts. |
Driving an engine that is truly overheating can turn a hose or thermostat job into major engine damage.
Why UAE driving tests the Dashing cooling system
Summer traffic is the hardest case for any cooling system: the car crawls with little airflow through the grille, the A/C condenser in front of the radiator is pouring out heat, and the turbo engine compartment stays hot after the drive. Sand and dust slowly clog the radiator fins, and daily sun exposure ages plastic tanks and rubber hoses. A Dashing that runs normally in winter may show its first cooling weakness in July traffic.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Jetour Dashing overheating?
Possible causes include coolant loss through a leak, a stuck thermostat, a blocked radiator, a cooling fan fault, a worn water pump or a faulty temperature sensor. A workshop diagnosis is needed to confirm which.
Can I keep driving a Dashing that is overheating?
No. If the gauge reaches red or a red warning appears, stop safely, switch off and let the engine cool. Driving on can damage the engine.
Can I open the coolant cap to check the level?
Only when the engine is fully cold. Never open a hot radiator or expansion-tank cap, because the coolant is under pressure.
Do the Dashing 1.5T and 1.6T use the same radiator and water pump?
Do not assume so. They have different engines, the 1.5TCI and the 1.6TGDI. We confirm the correct part for your car from the VIN.
Why does my Dashing get hotter in traffic with the A/C on?
At low speed the radiator relies on the cooling fan, and the A/C condenser adds heat in front of it. A weak fan, a clogged radiator or low coolant can show up first in these conditions.
Can ShipMyPart supply cooling parts for my Dashing?
Yes. Send the VIN and we identify, match and quote the cooling parts for your engine, with delivery in the UAE.
