What are the effects of an empty radiator and a burnt smell from the engine on a car?

[AdrielLee]

The hazards of an empty car radiator are as follows: 1. Temperature sensor: Excessive temperature may damage the thermostat and temperature sensors inside the engine, leading to abnormal engine temperature. 2. Water-oil mixture: This can cause deformation and damage to the cylinder head gasket, and in severe cases, lead to a water-oil mixture. It may also result in a series of issues such as cylinder head deformation. 3. Piston: It can easily cause the cylinder block to crack or the cylinder space to shrink, making the piston rings prone to getting stuck in the cylinder. If the piston gets stuck, it can lead to deformation of the piston connecting rod and damage to the throttle valve. 4. Engine: During traffic jams or prolonged idling, the engine temperature gauge may show excessively high readings, the electronic fan may operate at high speed for too long, engine noise may increase, and these issues are most noticeable when using the air conditioning in high-temperature weather.
