Can a Car Be Driven Without Coolant?
1 Answers
Lack of antifreeze means the car should not continue to be driven. Here is the relevant information: 1. The role of coolant is to dissipate heat from the engine. Without coolant, the car engine and radiator lack protection, which affects the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. The engine temperature will keep rising without effective cooling, and the antifreeze cannot circulate normally. If you continue to drive, it may cause severe engine damage in serious cases. 2. In cold climates, it can also cause the engine or radiator to freeze, leading to engine failure and rendering the vehicle unusable. 3. The cooling system circulates coolant through a water pump to carry heat away from the engine. A lack of coolant will prevent the circulation of heat dissipation, damaging the engine.
