Q
does turning on heat cool engine

Turning on the heat in your car can indeed help cool the engine indirectly. The car's heating system works by blowing air over the radiator attached to the engine's coolant system; thus, when you turn on the heat, it pulls some of the excess heat from the engine and disperses it into the car's cabin. Essentially, you're using the cabin as a secondary radiator. This trick can be particularly useful during a situation where the engine is at risk of overheating, enabling the engine's temperature to reduce slightly. However, it's not a fix for underlying mechanical issues causing the overheating and should be seen as a temporary solution while you seek professional assistance.

No, turning on the heat doesn't directly cool the engine. However, it does indirectly help to lower the engine temperature. When the heater is turned on, it pulls the heat from the engine coolant, which can help cool down an overheated engine. This method however should not replace proper engine maintenance and is considered a temporary solution.
