What you should do when you notice your engine overheating
Overheating is a common problem with most vehicles, even newer ones. An engine can overheat for many different reasons. The most common include a faulty/leaking radiator or low levels of coolant fluid in the engine. A very hot summer day can also exert undue pressure on the engine's cooling system and cause the vehicle to overheat.
If you start to notice the temperature gauge on the dashboard getting hotter, it is important to carry out the following steps in order to prevent excessive damage to your engine or to your passengers.
