There's no exact one way frozen coolant (or lack of anti-freeze) will cause problems. It could just bulge/split radiator, stop water pump from turning or up to cracking the block of the engine!

What is/was the up front problem - not cranking or cranking but not starting?

Note: -5C = ~ 22F

Plain water EXPANDS when crossing from liquid to solid. Other liquids contract -- real damage to metal is from expansion....
