Many engine failures can be attributed to neglect of the cooling system and could be easily avoided. If you are continually topping up the coolant level, take your vehicle to your mechanic as soon as possible. A simple fault may turn into a major engine repair if left unattended.
Most importantly, keep your eye on the temperature gauge. Pull over when the temperature rises or falls above/below the normal indicator, not when the car starts to run rough or stalls. If this occurs, it’s usually too late and an expensive engine repair may be needed. If the temperature falls it may be a sign that there is no water in the vehicles cooling system, and the temperature is unable to be read.
