You should be using coolant for this vehicle at least mixed with water for this model of vehicle unless you have an abused vehicle
Re: My Car Consume A Lot Of Water Rapidly by temizeee(m): 12:42pm On Jun 30, 2024
Also, did you notice the cooling fan coming on at certain temperature/driving distance? Or it has been bypassed?

I don’t know what you mean by abused vehicle.

not used coolant for almost a year I can’t lie about that. I don’t see any leakage from the outside. I just don’t know why it consumed water rapidly

If you don't see any form of leakage under the car, then the water could be leaking into your engine knw as head/top gasket failure.
Check if there is water on your engine dipstick or there is oil in your coolant tank/radiator.
Does the car smoke?

it didn’t do overheating. But the engine was cut off three times. The third time it made a cracking noise and it didn’t start not until I put water before the engine start and ever since then it been consuming water and I can’t find any leakage. Does these have some to do with gasket or head cyclinder or radiator. So many thoughts on my head 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bros, check your gasket or head cylinder

Something as simple as bad radiator cover can make your car to loose water if you are sure there's no leaks from radiator. Change the radiator cover and check again

Bro. I just check now.. no leakage from anywhere on the car. I just don’t know where the water consumption is coming from really
Re: My Car Consume A Lot Of Water Rapidly by Tobijah2: 7:39pm On Jun 30, 2024
Then Ur top is probably faulty. Bring out Ur guage stick and check if the engine oil is mixed with water
