    Title says it all, if you remove a radiator from a vehicle via parts selector

    The vehicle will not warm up or overheat.

    Temps will stay at the default temp of 80C.

    EDIT

    *Coolant temp will not rise, all other temps rise as normal (block oil etc etc)..

    Edit 2 No coolant no temp rise.... but everything else will skyrocket (block temp etc)... what was I thinking.. Thanks to IIHS for reminding me before I made myself look like a idiot lol.

    * Brain fart

    no, the system just doesn't change the coolant temp. the car will still overheat, and will overheat a lot faster.

    the temp should rise under under idle tho and even basic driving would cause the heat to rise to the point the car puts on the heat light
    I know this because a radiator hose went and spewed coolant everywhere (there was no coolant at all, I verified this by trying the heater) and my car overheated and I pulled over at a gas station to let it cool
    I then decided that I would drive to the dealership as I was on the same road and had just went past the dealer
    It It couldn't have been more than half a mile but by the time I had got there the temp gauge was about to ding me a warning (to be fair I did idle at a stoplight for 2 or so mins)

    *Coolant temp

    I can drive for a unlimited amount of time, and coolant temp will not rise all other temps do as normal.

    EDIT read OP

    coolant temp wont rise as there's no coolant to affect the thermostat
    --- Post updated ---
    if you have the oil/water/block/exhaust temp app you can watch the block temp skyrocket really quickly

    As you noticed it's just a visual thing that the coolant didn't rise in temperature. I've since changed the design a little so it will still let the (remaining) coolant heat up so it looks less confusing :)
