What are the effects of insufficient car antifreeze?
1 Answers
The effects of insufficient car antifreeze are: 1. Elevated water temperature leading to reduced power; 2. Lack of protection for the car engine and radiator; 3. Impaired heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator; 4. Potential engine damage due to overheating; 5. Risk of engine or radiator freezing, causing engine malfunctions. Antifreeze, also known as antifreeze coolant, is a coolant with antifreeze properties that prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise lead to radiator cracks or engine block damage due to freezing. The reasons for insufficient car antifreeze include: 1. Normal consumption; 2. Corrosion and deterioration of the cylinder head gasket; 3. Antifreeze leakage; 4. Damage to the radiator gasket; 5. Loose connections at the overflow tank, water pump interface, and various cooling system pipe fittings.
