I assume we're talking about the water filled radiator here?

The only difference to my knowledge is that coolent contains antifreeze to prevent your radiator from freezing and thus splitting due to expansion over the winter months, and it is distilled water which prevents algae build up.

Shouldn't find any other differences in terms of cooling.

How much quicker will it overheat?

Any other implications?
