Coolant Frozen

[Tsi]

Alright here's the deal, I believe my coolant is frozen. I can't remember what kind of mix I put in the car, it was during the summer soo I'm sure it was more water than coolant. The reason I think its frozen is because when I start it up the engine revs high and keeps climbing slowly. The block is a built 6 bolt and I don't want to ruin anything soo I shut the car off after a few seconds. Could anybody help me on what I should do, just let it run until it finaly unthaws? Any help would be appreciated.

Your symtoms don't seem to have anything to do with frozen coolant. You can check very simply if your coolant is frozen by first looking in the overflow bottle, then squeezing the lower radiator hose. Is your MAS hacked? Hows your BISS?

the lower radiator hose is not frozen solid, but a hard slush. Why would my car rev like this then, it has never done this before? Its just that these past couple days its been -20. So I thought that it did this because the coolant is frozen?? I have a 2g mass on a 1g and my biss is fine

If your coolant is frozen and it damaged something, you'll know after a few minutes of letting it run when there is a big puddle under the car. It doesn't hurt to let it run as long as you look for leaks and keep an eye on the temp gauge.

It could deffinately be the 2G MAS screwing things up...how do you have it tuned?

Ok this is a first for me, I just started it and let it run and it sat inbetween 1500-1800 going jumping up and down and finally it got to normal temp and it went to normal idle, but the car doesn't blow hot air and the car slowly overheats

It definately may be frozen coolant then or a stuck thermostat. Warm the car up until the temps get a little higher than normal, then let it sit to cool down some. Once it gets cooled down some, then start it up again and heat it back up. Continue doing this for a while and everything will eventually thaw out. Get it thawed out ASAP, it can do some serious damage to your engine/cooling system if it freezes very hard.

What JET mentioned will work fine. If you had access to a garage with some heat, that would be better, but I am sure if you did, you would have mentioned it.

I am freezing water in my car now :) . It doesn't overheat ever though. That is probly because I drive it shortly after startup though.

If it is frozen solid enough you won't be flowing any water to the temp sensor. Essentially you are overheating your car, but you wouldn't be able to tell.
