    Summer’s coming, and with that comes plenty of opportunities to hit the open road or to head off the beaten path for some off-road adventures. However, it also introduces increased rates of overheating in vehicles of all shapes and sizes, which could slow you down or even bring you to a complete stop while causing significant damage to crucial parts of your engine. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of overheating in your ride so you can enjoy your summer fun without having to cash in those in store coupons for auto parts replacements.

    1. Keep the Heat Out

    The best cure to overheating is a good, strong dose of prevention. There are a few simple steps you can take throughout your everyday schedule to keep your car and your engine much cooler.

    • Park in the shade when possible
    • Use a sun shade when parked
    • Invest in proper window tinting
    • Leave windows slightly cracked to allow heat to escape

    If you don’t have a sun shade or proper window tinting tools, it’s as simple as doing a search for “car pars near me” on your preferred online search engine. The parts themselves are inexpensive and fairly straightforward to use.

    2. Use Your Vents Properly

    Used correctly, vents keep your engine from overheating. Using the floor vents, for example, is much more effective in pushing hot air out of your vehicle. Using the fresh air setting on your AC also helps to recirculate the hot air in your car, cooling it more effectively than just running the cool air setting.

    3. Pay Attention to Your Cooling System

    Engines need coolant to prevent overheating. Make a habit of checking your coolant levels my locating the reservoir under the hood. Adding coolant is as easy as pouring new coolant into this reservoir to the appropriate fill line. However, note that coolant should never be added to a hot engine. Allow your car to cool first.

    Follow these tips to keep your engine cool this summer so you can enjoy the weather to the fullest. Take advantage of free delivery on auto parts to get the parts you need to keep your car cool and collected.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

📌 Graskop, Mpumalanga

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
