when i went to de ice tha car at 5:00am i started the engine to demist the windows and warm it up for me so as i get in it to leave at 5.30 the heaters are blowing cold instead of hot and i notice the temp gauge is nearly in the red could this mean the water in the coolant was frozen and if it was what damage could it have done and how will i know>>>

some 1 please help

Have a look at the water in your coolant tank, is there even any in it? If it has frozen no one can say the full amount of damage it has done but I no a friend who didnt check his anti freeze and the water froze and f**k the whole engine but his wouldn't even start so don't sound like yours is that bad lol

well av emptied the coolant and it was a slush in the bottom and slush in the pipe which goes to the theromstat was full f slush so a took all the pipes of and flushed them all filled it back up with anti freeze and then there was a squick coming from the fan belt which will b changed tha morrow

Is ther any chance you could put car in garage overnight with heater to make sure it is fully thawed out before refilling with antifreeze

a cant as a dont have a garage

happened to me the other week mate, whole water system froze over but i didnt know and overheated the engine whilst driving D:
had to drain the whole system, hoses were full of ice and slush, refilled it with a load of antifreeze and been ok since like (touch wood) just checking it before every journey in this weather. could of nacked your water pump with all the ice though

well since a filled it up av had it running ages and it hasnt overheated a took it 4 a drive seems fine and how wud a know if me water pump is knackered

just to let yous know i have had the fan belt changed and car is fine apart from the garage has destroyed me bodge work lol so the car goes like a kangaroo again
