If the cooling system just has straight water in it , there is no corrosion protection for the cooling system , water pump , head gaskets etc , the engine '"coolant " can freeze or boil easier , if the coolant system freezes and the core plugs in the engine block don't do there job , the engine block can crack etc

Why does antifreeze boil in a 2001 Ford Focus?

It's due to the car over heating and it's usually because of cheap anti freeze or too much water in the mixture. (Probably a clogged radiator or a bad thermostat, too much water or "cheap anti-freeze" has nothing to do with it. They don't make "cheap" anti freeze. Anti-freeze is just that... anti-freeze!)

Does antifreeze help to warm the car in the winter?

no, anti freeze doesnt warm a car up, the purpose of anti freeze is to keep your down at a certain temperature. the engine bock creates the heat the anti freeze keeps it at a certain temp. most of the time between 180-195 degrees <><><> When parked, anti-freeze lowers the temperature at which your coolant would freeze- does not make the car warmer, it allows it to get colder without damage. It also RAISES the boiling point of the coolant, so that it can be 230 degrees, but not boiling.
