The Problem
Overheating Needs a Proper Diagnosis — Not a Guess
When a car overheats, the temptation is to top up the coolant and carry on. But overheating is always caused by something specific — and without the right diagnosis for your exact vehicle, it will happen again.
What's behind it varies significantly depending on your make, model, age and symptoms. The difference between a straightforward repair and a very costly one comes down to identifying the actual cause quickly and not driving on it.
🚨
If your temperature gauge is in the red or you see steam from the bonnet — stop driving immediately. Turn the engine off, do not open the bonnet straight away, and do not remove the coolant cap. Get a diagnosis before driving any further.
