A heatstroke can cause escalate your pulse, make you dizzy, and can be fatal. It takes 1 hour of sitting in a closed hot car (parked under the sun) to kill an adult human being. Just like us, car engines too can be severely damaged if operated in overheated conditions. The engine can warp, swell, expand, or even crack in case of overheating. Overheating is bad for both human beings and engines. To keep engines cool, cars are equipped with a cooling system. In this article we will share some easy

We’ve all been in that situation before when we have to stop at the side of the road because your engine was overheating. But do you know what to do next after you pull over? Certainly not opening the radiator cap like what the guys in this video did. In the viral video, a few men were seen attempting to open the cap of a steaming radiator. They managed to open the cap but what followed was utter chaos as burning hot water burst from the radiator opening and shot into the sky. If you think about

Terperangkap di dalam kereta panas boleh menyebabkan maut pada orang dewasa dalam masa hanya 1 jam.

Dimana saja, kelibat skuter tidak kira dari jenama Honda, Yamaha, Modenas, SYM, Vespa dan pelbagai lagi memang mudah dilihat di jalanan.

Malaysia is now into its sixth week of the Movement Control Order (MCO) triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. This also means that many cars have been left parked for an extended period of time. To be clear, leaving a car parked for an extended period of time won’t damage your car. It’s not unusual for new cars to be parked at a dealer’s lot for months before it is sold. My own 36-year old classic is driven only about once a month but it starts at the first crank every single time. The difference
