Why is the water in car radiator rusty?
the water in your radiator is rusty because your antifreeze/water ratio is not correct. Antifreeze serves two important functions: protecting the cooling system at temperature extremes and inhibiting rust and corrosion in the system. When your antifreeze/water ratio is not correct Rust and sediment can accumulate in the cooling system. This can eventually clog your cooling system mainly your radiator and cause your car to overheat, and more serious problems with the over heating. I would suggest flushing your system and adding the correct antifreeze/water ratio mixture. Doing this your self or having it done by proffessional.

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.

Can you drive a car with only water in the radiator?
Yes, you can. In fact, pure water is a more effective coolant than any mixture of water and antifreeze. However, it is not recommended that you run pure water in a cooling system for an extended length of time. Not only does antifreeze protect against freezing. It also contains corrosion inhibiters, which help prevent your engine and radiator from succumbing to corrosion. For these reasons, using only water in your cooling system is something you should do only when you have no choice (such as a roadside emergency). However, if pure water is used in a cooling system for this reason, the cooling system should be drained ASAP and refilled with the proper mixture of antifreeze and water.
