Engine can overheat because of many reasons, sometimes, it might be due to faulty spare parts or some of your bad habits. We are going to tell you some tips that you should follow when your car engine overheats.
Turn off your AC
If you feel that your engine is about to overheat, immediately turn off AC to reduce load on the engine. This will help to pull heat away from engine to keep it cool.
Check your car's coolant level regularly
The low level of coolant level is the most common reason behind the overheating. A quick top-off of coolant level can help to protect your engine and prevent overheating.
Restart the engine
In case your car has begun to overheat, it's time to stop the car immediately. Find a safe spot, open the hood and let the heat come out. Pour some water over the radiator to bring the temperature down.
Keep a check on thermostat
Thermostat is responsible for regulating the coolant flow via engine. If your thermostat consists of any fault, then your car's cooling system might not work properly.
Check your drive belt for wear/tear
If drive belt gets breaks, then there's no water pump and hence there is no coolant circulation. If your engine overheats almost every time you start, you need to check the drive belt.
Don't remove radiator cap
It is always advised not to remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot. This can cause serious burns all over your body.
These are some of the things that you can do to prevent your car from overheating.
