Is Your Car’s Engine Overheating? How to Handle It

A car engine that overheats can be a serious issue. At Autopia Bloomington, we’re here to help prevent engine overheating and ensure that your engine stays at optimal temperatures.

What Causes Overheating?

Overheating can occur due to a variety of issues, such as a broken thermostat, low coolant levels, or a malfunctioning radiator. Without prompt attention, overheating can cause irreversible engine damage.

How to Prevent Overheating

  • Check coolant levels regularly: Low coolant is the most common cause of overheating.
  • Inspect the radiator: Ensure there are no blockages or leaks.
  • Monitor the thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can prevent proper coolant flow.
