What are the effects of a significant shortage of coolant?
1 Answers
Coolant plays a cooling role in the car engine. The effects of a significant shortage of coolant are as follows: 1. In cold climates, a significant shortage of coolant can cause the engine or radiator to freeze and crack, leading to engine failure. 2. It affects the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency, preventing normal circulation and making the radiator prone to damage. 3. Coolant effectively maintains the engine within its normal operating temperature, protecting the engine. A significant shortage of coolant reduces the cooling system's effectiveness, causing the engine to overheat. In severe cases, this can lead to engine burn-out.
