Damage to car due to heat wave: is it possible?

You can take a role in this yourself by keeping your car's radiator clean and checking coolant and oil levels. Furthermore, you can try to keep battery usage as low as possible, often the battery is a bottleneck in the cooling system. Things like adjusting the air conditioner lower or turning it off helps with this.

Is your engine still getting too hot? Give your car a break to avoid damage, pull over and open the hood to let the heat escape. Check the coolant and top it up if necessary. Be sure to let the engine cool down well first! If the engine is still hot, the fluid can come out with great force and cause burns. Are you completely out of coolant? Then do not drive and call roadside assistance immediately. Damage with this cause is covered in most cases only with All-risk car insurance !

Paint damage

Bird droppings and other things that end up on your car's hood can cause damage to your car's paint. This is not just because of acid, but also because of the contraction and expansion of these materials due to heat. During a heat wave, temperature differences can be high, so make sure you keep your car clean and don't park it directly under a tree during a heat wave.
