What to do if your Ford Fiesta overheats?
Refill the cooling system and run the engine with the bonnet up to see where the water is coming from, rectify the leak and all should be ok unless you drove for a long time in the red which could have done other damage.

Why is the head gasket gone on my Ford Fiesta?

Can a 4 year old Fiesta blow a head gasket?
If you hit something in the road then you have most likely damaged something. It won’t be a perished hose on a four year old Fiesta. If you have driven the car with the temperature gauge in the red and a lack of water in it, you could have blown your head gasket too.
