What Happens If I Have Water In My Radiator And It Freezes?
If water is left in the radiator and it freezes, the ice can expand and cause damage to the radiator and engine. The expansion can crack the radiator and cause leaks. Additionally, the frozen coolant will not be able to circulate properly, potentially causing the engine to overheat and leading to engine damage. It is important to always use the recommended coolant and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintaining the radiator and cooling system to prevent these issues.
