On these hottest summer days, the engine is always more likely to heat up and the coolant temperature to rise. It often rises so much that it almost boils or actually boils.

SEE ALSO:

And there is a trick that works in many cars to reduce this temperature, which is to turn on the hot air. But turning on the hot air in the summer, well, it’s a little sacrifice, but when you turn on the hot air, a reasonable amount of the coolant that was standing in the cold system starts to circulate as well and reduces the temperature.

Motor that heats up should be taken to the workshop for repair soon to avoid other more serious and heavier problems in the pocket.
