Hey everyone. New to the forum, but having an urgent issue so hopefully this is the right place.
I have a 2012 Dodge Journey. The family and I are from Texas and recently took a cold trip to Colorado. We were driving back tonight and ended up in Kanasa before the coolant temp sensor alerted us that it was overheating. It got to about 271 degrees and was constantly chirping at me.
We pulled over to a hotel but plan on taking it to a mechanic that’s about 3 mins up the road in the morning.
With that said, should I put any water in the coolant or just wing it going to the mechanic? I’m not sure if water will help or hurt, I just don’t want anything further to mess up on the way to the mechanics shop.
Thank you!
