My engine coolant is a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water so adding water
will just dilute the mixture more and weaken the antifreeze so the coolant mixture
will freeze at a warmer temperature and it will reduce the corrosion protection if there
is not at least 40 % antifreeze

What do you put in the cooling system of a 1993 ford explorer can you put water instead of coolant?
I would only put water in an emergency situation where I don't have coolant available. The coolant helps the engine to not overheat and to not freezing, while that could happen if you just use water. If you don't have your vehicle's manual to know the specification of the coolant, you can use the generally available Prestone and add water according to the table on the coolant's recipient. (or you can buy the pre-mixed formula)

Can you put water in a Volkswagen jetta to substitute for coolant?
If your car is leaking coolant get it fixed and put in the recomended coolant for your car. You should locate that info in the manual, also putting water in the winter is a bad idea since the water could freeze causing engine damage. I supposed you might be able to run it for a while in the summer with just water but get the leak fixed and put in the recomended antifreeze/coolant
