During hot weather, drivers trying to leave the city often get stuck in long traffic jams, naav.ru reported. In such conditions, it's easy for a car engine to overheat. An engine repair specialist shared tips on what to do if your engine temperature starts to rise.
This issue is most common in older cars. The causes may include low oil levels, coolant leaks, or piston system malfunctions. The first step is to cool the engine as quickly as possible. To do this, turn the heater on to maximum with the highest temperature setting. To avoid discomfort inside the car, it’s best to roll down the windows.
However, you shouldn’t drive too long like this — it's better to stop at the nearest safe spot and investigate the cause.
The expert warned that engine overheating can lead to cylinder head warping, which could cause coolant leaks and result in expensive repairs. To avoid such problems, it's recommended to clean the radiator regularly and have the cooling system serviced by professionals.
