Anthony's auto tips #1

My mother gave me this idea to post helpful tips on here about cars.

This first tip came to me when my car was over heating today.

The first step to know if your car is over heating, is to check your temperature gauge (some cars don't have a gauge, just a light for when the car gets too hot).

Next, if your gauge reads that the water temperature is too high an easy thing to do, is to simply turn on the HEAT, this really works it worked for me today. What that does is it takes the very hot water, that can not extract any more heat from the engine, away from the engine and a fan blows the heat off the water into your car. In turn, cooling the water a bit. As the water flows back to the engine it extracts more heat till it can't any more and puts it back into the car, as long as the heat is on. You should put the fan on high in to order to take the most heat out of the water. This is only a temporary fix until you can get your car looked at or fixed. With my car the anti-freeze level was too low and there was not enough water to extract the heat from the engine.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THE RADIATOR CAP AS STEAM AT WAY OVER 245 DEGREES WILL VIOLENTLY BLOW OUT OF THE CAP SEVERELY BURNING YOU. WAIT AT LEAST TWO HOURS BEFORE OPENING CAP AFTER CAR HAS BEEN SHUT OFF!!
