To cool your car quickly during the summer heat, roll down the passenger side windows and open and shut the driver’s side door multiple times. This will help move hot air from your vehicle. A good clean and flush of the cooling system might fix it, and if all else fails, it’s time to replace the thermostat. Always use the manufacturers coolant or turn your car on while the doors are still open.
At Layton Car Care, they can provide air conditioner maintenance and repairs to minimize discomfort with your car’s interior this summer. Here are some ways to keep your car cool:
- Place a sunshade or window visor every time you park.
- Park smart, use a windshield sun shade, and cover up your car.
- The evaporator is right in front of a fan that pulls the hot, humid air out of the car’s interior. The refrigerant makes the hot air’s moisture condense into drops of water, removing the heat.
- Park in the shade on a hot day and allow your car to cool from 100 to 70 in about 7 minutes, sometimes less.
- Set the climate to LO (the coldest setting) to lower your body temperature naturally.
- Keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion, such as nausea, cramps, dizziness, and an elevated heart rate.
- Use ceramic tint and a sun shield in the windshield to cool your car as much as possible.
- Turn on your A/C to Level 3 setting, close all four front vents, turn to recirculation, and have it pointing to Front Vent Setting.
In summary, maintaining a cool car during the summer requires proper maintenance and repair of the cooling system.

Dear YourCarFacts . I come back to thank you for your tips. My engine overheat (temp gauge 75%, OBD 115 deg Cel) recently and I check my water tank that is full. No water leak and water tank is always at full level and no refill for almost 1.5 years. I watch many article saying thermostat, fan, or sensor problem. None of them are correct until I listen to your advice and found that my radiator water return hose ( connecting water tank and radiator) is clogged ! I check my radiator actually it is empty but the water tank is always full! Thanks for your tips! Mine is Nissan QR25

Anyone who owns a farm is naturally a great mechanic as they have to work on all their equipment themselves, hearing the roosters crowing in the background tells me everything he’s explaining he’s gone through and fixed himself. TY for sharing your wisdom my Brother, wishing you many years of safe and fun driving and many bountiful harvests ! 👍🏻

I have a mystery slight overheating on my 2005 Subaru Outback. I have checked many things and replaced a lot of parts already like the radiator caps, thermostat, and a few other things which commonly cause overheating, but I haven’t yet found the reason.. What can you do to unplug the coolant galleries/passages in the motor? Do you have to take it apart for this or can they be flushed manually through the radiator hose? Also, do you think a vacuum leak could cause overheating? Edit: I found out what the problem was. The heater core lines were clamped by the previous owner with pressure pliers..🤦🏻♂️ Seems like the coolant going to the heater core was leaking inside the cabin and he decided to prevent a leak this way.. talk about a hack job. As a consequence, the cooling system was being pressurized and overheating. I ended up doing a heater core hoses bypass. Problem fixed.
Hi my car overheats on and off it will run without overheating and then its starts maybe after doing about 15 miles,its starts throwing water water of the coolant tank. The fan comes on but it builts up so much pressure in the system the water pipes become so hard unless i open the coolant cap slowly to let the pressure out then the fan stops and temperatures goes back to normal but when i close the cap again it builds pressure again. I have changed the thermostat and temperature sensor but nothing has changed.do you have any idea of the problem is

Mi amigo me imagino que tu primer idioma es el español y yo no hablo muy bien el inglés tampoco más sin embargo entendí todo lo que acabas de explicar te tengo una pregunta hace un par de días le hice cambio de aceite a un Mini Cooper 2006 y cuando abrí el cárter del aceite lo primero Que salió fue una pequeña cantidad de refrigerante y pues obviamente eso No es normal mi pregunta es crees que sea el termostato? Alguna manguera rota? Debería reemplazar el empaque de la Culata o algo aún peor? El carro Se calienta y muy rápido
Has anyone ever heard of an alternator making a car overheat? I’ve never heard of that But my husband said that 1 of his coworkers Told him that his car was overheating and he had already fixed everything imaginable That usually causes cars to overheat Such as the water pump The thermostats,He replaced the radiator, Checked the fans and He even checked the engine to make sure that the oil was clean and did not have any Milky looking oil… So he was sure his heads were not damaged And for some reason you decided to take Ito take it to autozone To have the car scanned And it came back that’s something Was faulty on the A battery or alternator so he replaced the alternator and now he said His vehicle is not overheating anymore… Is that even possible? I’m really just trying to Understand why the alternator has anything to do with the temperature of the vehicle To be honest I would like to prove my husband wrong lol
