Potential Cause: Coolant Level is Low One of the most common reasons for a car to overheat while idling is because the coolant level is low. When the coolant level gets low, it means that there's less fluid available to help dissipate the heat from the engine. To check the coolant level, simply open the hood and remove the radiator cap. Once the radiator cap is off, you should be able to see the level of coolant in the radiator. If it's below the "full" line, then you'll need to add more coolant. See here for more solutions . 2.

The Coolant Is Low  What Is Car Coolant and What Does It Do? Car coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze. The antifreeze keeps the water from freezing in cold weather, while the water helps to keep the engine cool in hot weather. When the engine is running, the coolant mixture circulates through radiator hoses and around the engine, absorbing heat from the engine and then dissipating it into the air. This process helps to keep the engine running at its optimal temperature, which prevents it from overheating.  Why Is It Important to Keep Your Coolant Le
