When a car is low on antifreeze, it can lead to overheating as the coolant system lacks sufficient fluid to regulate engine temperatures. This can cause the engine to overheat, potentially resulting in severe damage like a blown head gasket or warped cylinder heads. Additionally, low antifreeze levels can lead to corrosion and damage to the radiator and cooling system components. Regularly checking and maintaining the antifreeze level is crucial for optimal engine performance and longevity.

What happens to a car engine in freezing temperatures when there's no antifreeze?

If you have water instead of antifreeze in your cooling system, it will freeze! You won't be able to start the car, because the engine is connected to the water pump (which won't be able to move). If you have nothing in your cooling system (no water, no antifreeze, nothing else), then you need your head checked. Your car won't start either.
