Automotive, caring for your car.
Things you ought to know....
Do not add water to an overheated engine until the engine fully cools down. Adding water immediately will damage the cylinder head gasket and lead to a very expensive repair job. You may have to wait for a few hours depending on how badly the vehicle has overheated.
