How to Cool Down an Overheated Car Engine?
1 Answers
Methods to cool down an overheated car engine: 1. Find a safe place to pull over, but do not turn off the engine immediately. Allow the engine to idle to continue dissipating heat, and open the hood to enhance cooling. 2. After some time, check if there is any leakage under the car. 3. Wait until the temperature gauge needle drops to a safe level before turning off the engine. 4. Use a wet towel to cover the radiator cap, then open the first switch (about a quarter turn). After the steam pressure is fully released, completely open the radiator cap to check the water level and quality in the radiator, and inspect the fan belt for any abnormalities. 5. If the water level is insufficient, slowly add water up to near the maximum fill line.
