yes but i wouldn't if you live in a cold climate your block will freeze and then you lost a great car :)
Radiator coolant.
Water alone is not used as coolant for automobiles.
coolant
as long as it is not the winter... then it will freeze. and never put water in a hot empty radiator or you will crack the block and you will be very sorry.
The average car radiator, when filled with water, typically weighs between 20 to 30 pounds (9 to 14 kilograms). This weight can vary depending on the size and design of the radiator, as well as the type of vehicle. Additionally, the weight of the coolant used can also affect the total weight if the radiator is filled with a coolant mixture instead of plain water.
It could be the radiator, the hoses, a leaking coolant tank or the water pump.
I assume you want to change out the water pump and would like to know if you can do it without draining the radiator. You will lose approximately all the coolant in the radiator reservoir when you remove the radiator hose from the water pump. If the coolant is in good, clean condition, it might be wise to drain the radiator into a container and re-use the coolant.
Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Radiator restricted or plugged? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap? Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Radiator restricted or plugged? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap?
To add water to the radiator on a new beetle, first remove the lower radiator hose. Then add water to the coolant reservoir.
To flush a radiator, first make sure the engine is off and cool. Locate the radiator drain plug, usually at the bottom, and use a container to catch the old coolant. Pour radiator flush solution and water into the radiator, run the engine for a few minutes, then drain the radiator by opening the drain plug. Finally, refill the radiator with the recommended coolant and water mixture.
The coolant leaves the radiator by way of the lower radiator hose then enters the water pump in most automotive engines.
Not sure what the question is getting at, but yes it does. There is no dedicated coolant radiator specifically for the intake, it shares the same coolant system and radiator as every other water-cooled system in the vehicle's engine.
