if you did it because your car was overheating, then you should find out the real problem. ok temporarily, depending on the climate you live in.
if you forgot, then just put it back in. not hard to do.

It's not bad, just your car is never getting up to temp on short drives. That's what's bad. I did it for a few week as I diagnosed Overheating issues. just 20min of driving in mid 20deg Celsius weather to get up to temp.

It take 15 minutes. If you want your car to warm up and have a heater its the corret choice if not for all means enjoy frezein unless you live In california where it hasnt gotten colder than 70 yet durin the day
