No good in the winter heaters wont work properly and the engine will not get to the correct temperature will affect emissions engine managment system buy a new thermostat dont forget flush out the water from the engine put in some anti freeze to protect engine in the winter.

depends on what vehicle -if it is a by-pass type of t/stat [with seal on bottom as well as one at the top] then you will only get water circulating round small area of engine-so with this type they cant be taken out and still use vehicle!

Of course - the engine will just run cooler. Top it up first though!
