What Happens If a Car Runs Out of Water and Overheats?

[SanJohnny]

The radiator running out of water can easily lead to engine seizure. The engine is a crucial component for starting a car. Even without a radiator, a car can still start and operate normally. However, during prolonged driving, the engine temperature will continue to rise. Without a radiator, the engine cannot dissipate heat in time, and when the temperature gets too high, the engine may seize. At this point, the engine is essentially no different from being scrapped, and the car can no longer continue to run. The only option is to call a towing company to have the car towed to a repair shop. If the engine is already scrapped and unusable, you may face the situation of needing to replace the engine, which involves significant expenses.
