Car overheating? It’s not trying to brew a cuppa; it’s screaming for help.
The usual suspects are remarkably unglamorous:
Start with a cold-level coolant check, hunt for wet spots or crusty residue, confirm the fan kicks in (flick the A/C on as a test), and don’t ignore sweet-smelling steam.
If the needle’s in the red, pull over, let it cool, and organise a tow—cooked gaskets cost more than humility.
A proper pressure test and coolant flush by a mechanic beats turning the engine into an expensive kettle.
