Icon2 Radiator Problem

Dear ,,,

Yesterday i was driving my CRV 2008 model,, suddenly i feel that AC is not cooling, i tried two or three times switch on & Off the AC but it didnt work,,, than i look at the temperature bar it was rising, i got surprised i switched off the AC and tried to stop,,, as i was on the main road it was rush hour,, after a while i managed to stop and check the radiator,,,,, it was empty and the attached bottle was also empty. i got shocked ,,, i started the vehicle and put water in the radiator,, after waiting for some time ,,, i move my car and reached the destination,,,, on second day i again check the radiator ,,, but water was full,,,,

can u suggest what should i do,,,,,,one thing more should i use coolant or distilled water for the radiator now.

Thanx & Regards,,
Ali

What kind of climate do you drive in?
If your car ever sees temperatures below freezing, you'll need coolant for sure.

Take it to a shop to get checked out. You have a leak somewhere.

You don't want to run water at all if it gets cold where you are, because it will freeze, and it will crack the engine block.
