How do I avoid engine overheating in my Ford Puma?

I recently bought a used Ford Puma and have been experiencing issues with the engine overheating. I want to avoid causing any further damage to my car and need advice on how to prevent this issue from happening.

First, check your coolant levels and make sure they are at the appropriate level. If they are low, top them off. You may also need to change your engine oil if it is old or dirty, as this can contribute to engine overheating. Additionally, make sure your radiator and hoses are free of any debris or blockages.

Another common cause for engine overheating in Ford Pumas is a malfunctioning thermostat. Check to see if it is stuck open or closed and replace it if necessary. You should also inspect your radiator cap as it may need to be replaced if it is not holding pressure properly.

One potential solution for preventing engine overheating is to install an aftermarket cooling fan. This can help your car's cooling system work more efficiently and keep your engine from overheating in the future.
