What to do when the Vauxhall Astra engine overheats?

I have a Vauxhall Astra and the engine tends to overheat after driving for a while. What can I do to prevent this issue and keep my car running smoothly?

First, check your coolant levels regularly and top it up if necessary. Make sure your radiator and hoses are in good condition and not clogged or leaking. It's also important to keep an eye on your engine's temperature gauge while driving.

If your engine does overheat, pull over to a safe location and turn off the engine immediately. Allow it to cool down before attempting to open the radiator cap. This will prevent any hot water or steam from causing burns.

Regular maintenance and servicing can also help prevent engine overheating. Make sure to have your cooling system checked and flushed regularly by a qualified mechanic.
