Temperature’s Rising.

Even though it's cold outside, if you notice that your vehicle’s temperature gauge is rising rapidly, here is a helpful tip from A.J.’s Import Garage in Topeka. Immediately turn your heater on to the highest setting. This will drain some of the heat from your engine until you can safely pull over to the side of the road.

Once you are safely on the side of the road you may think…I will just lift the hood and help my car’s engine begin to cool down. Be careful…that may be a mistake! If steam is coming out, it’s better NOT to open it just to be safe. Never remove a hot radiator cap since pressurized coolant and steam can come shooting out.

It can be stressful enough navigating the roads of the Topeka area this time of year. Hopefully, your engine overheating will not be one of them.
