Can the car still be driven if the radiator is broken?
1 Answers
A car with a cracked radiator cannot be driven because the lack of water in the radiator will prevent the engine from being cooled by water or antifreeze. The reasons for a car radiator cracking are as follows: No antifreeze added: In winter, if antifreeze is not added, the cold water will freeze and crack. No cleaning or replacement of the radiator: If the radiator has not been cleaned or the water has not been changed for a long time, it will gradually corrode and eventually develop holes under the pressure of the water pump circulation. Cylinder head gasket leakage: If the engine's cylinder head gasket has a slight leak, gas can escape into the radiator, and under high pressure, weaker areas of the material will break first.
