If an engine overheats the metal parts expand and the engine will seize up. A seized engine is usually unrepairable.
If when u put ur finger on it it's so hot that u can't keep your finger on it turn he car off. If the car is water proof u may pour water on it to prevent further over heating. If not you may wanta start cleaning the car more specifically around the motor to prevent dirt build up in the motor and this may stop overheating
The solution to engine overheating depends on the underlying cause. Some common causes of engine overheating are low coolant levels a faulty thermostat a broken water pump or a clogged radiator. To determine the cause of the engine overheating you should first check the temperature gauge on the dashboard. If the temperature is rising then the problem is most likely related to the cooling system. To resolve the issue you can take the following steps: Check the coolant reservoir and refill it if necessary. Check the thermostat and replace it if it is faulty. Check the water pump and replace it if it is broken. Check the radiator for any obstructions or clogs and clean them out.If the cooling system is in good working condition and the engine is still overheating then there may be other issues such as a worn out head gasket a problem with the fuel injectors or a worn out timing belt. In such cases it is best to take the car to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
It means that the car has an engine with a displacement of 1000 cubic centimeters and can be referred to as being a 1.0 litre engine.
A car with the engine in the rear should have rear/all wheel drive. A car with the engine in the front should have front/all wheel drive.

To prevent the engine from overheating.
In modern vehicles, there are sensors which will prevent the engine from coming on when it is overheated. This is a protection measure.
A thermostat can prevent overheating on the engine, air-conditioning, by signaling such occurences through warning sounds.
A defective water pump can indirectly cause to shut off. Either through overheating, or, if the vehicle is so equipped, a sensor designed to protect the engine in the event of engine overheating.
Your car is overheating when idle because there may be a lack of oil or water in the engine. It can also be a problem with the engine itself. If your car is overheating, simply contact a wrecker or a road assistance company. The police are also available to assist you.
your car is broken
Yes
It means the car is overheating.
The radiator is used to cool down the coolant (water plus antifreeze etc) which in turn is used to circulate the engine and prevent it overheating.
No, not unless it is so low the engine is overheating.
Low coolant levels can lead to engine overheating, which may cause a car to stall. When the engine overheats, it can trigger safety mechanisms that shut down the engine to prevent damage. However, low coolant alone typically doesn't cause stalling directly; it's the resulting overheating that poses the risk. It's important to maintain proper coolant levels to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent potential stalling issues.
if the engine is smoking and overheating the head gasket is blown or you popped a freeze plug
