How can I look after my car in hot weather?
A spike in temperature can really affect how your car operates.
Large areas of the UK are currently experiencing hot weather, with even higher temperatures due over the coming weeks. Humans feel the effect of the hot weather, of course, but cars also need some extra attention when the mercury rises.
So here, we’re going to take a look at some of the measures you can take to ensure that your car sails through the warmer weather without fault.
Check your coolant

Your coolant is essential for keeping a car at a stable temperature. It’s a good idea to make sure that your car is topped up with the right amount – underneath the bonnet you’ll find a coolant reservoir with a gauge to see how much is there.
You should make sure that it sits between ‘maximum’ and ‘minimum’. You can top it up yourself using the appropriate coolant, but if you have any concerns then take it to a garage right away.
