What You Should do if Your Car is Overheating
It has been a long time since I drove a car that overheated, but I remember driving to the shore when I was little and it seemed like our car overheated quite often along the way. It seemed whenever we were stuck in traffic, our car overheated. My Dad used to add water to something under the hood whenever that happened. Now we have some good advice to share if that happens to you. The Daily Mirror says Nationwide Insurance is recommending people turn their heat on this Summer in the event their car starts to overheat. They posted; “Turning on the heat might be the last thing you want to do on a hot summer day, but it can pull hot air from the engine compartment and cool the engine. It won’t fix the underlying problem, but it’s a good measure for long drives until you can have the car inspected and repaired.”
Elite Auto Experts says, : “Turn on your vehicle’s heater till you find an area to park. This is not just rumour or lore. Make sure the air conditioner is off, and crank that heat. Blasting your heater can pull a bit of heat away from your engine. Transferring the heat buys you some time until you can safely pull over. In some cases, this move may be enough to reverse the overheating process. Regardless, you will need to stop your car as soon as you can to give it at least 15 minutes to rest.”
