It can break the water pump housing, engine block, radiator. Major damage.
water freezes and expands popping the welsh plug
If bellow 0 degrees it freezes or its just cold
The car may overheat!
when serpentine belt breaks alternator and water pump stop working along with power steering pump
If it froze up from lack of antifreeze protection, you can have the vehicle towed to a heated garage and wait, then hope and pray no serious damage was done from freezing. If the pump froze up from a bad bearing in the pump, replacing the pump is required.
In a car the water pump circulates coolant through the engine and to the radiator.
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
Yes, but it is usually water in the gasoline that freezes.
no but if you try to run the car with the water pump out you could overheat your engine
the water pump of a car is called 'la pompe à eau' in French.
No. The antifreeze has to be mixed with the water before the water freezes.
You can not, and should not drive a car that has a bad water pump. The water pump pumps coolant through the engine. You engine will overheat and die without a functioning water pump.
