What causes the car to overheat?

I have a Ford Focus and I've noticed that my car has been overheating more frequently. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

The most common cause of a car overheating is a malfunctioning cooling system. This can happen due to a leak in the radiator, a faulty thermostat, or a clogged radiator. It is important to get this fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your car.

Another reason for a car overheating could be a low coolant level. Make sure to regularly check your coolant levels and top it up if necessary. If the coolant levels are consistently dropping, there may be a leak in your system that needs to be addressed.

Using the wrong type of coolant can also cause your car to overheat. Make sure to always use the recommended coolant for your specific Ford Focus model. Using the wrong coolant can lead to engine damage and costly repairs.
