Maria Devenney: Thank you for the posts. I suspect the water pump. It has 230 000km on the clock (about 140 000 miles) and has had a hard life, it was my husband's first car which he bought when he was 20. Perhaps another question I need to ask is what havoc a broken water pump can cause to an engine (taking into account that the car did not run out of water) Thank you again for your informative replies.
Piedad Bassiti: How many miles does it have? All cars come to a time in their life.. and I think maybe yours has reached it. A car is classed as a write off when the total cost of repairs exceeds the value of the car. I think your car may be a write off. However, I'm not an expert mechanic (I know my fair share) and I can't determine from the info you've given what is wrong with your car, so it may be an inexpensive job to repair her....Show more
Penelope Armond: well, as you said, the water all over the road means some hose went loose, or the water containe! r broke, or even your water pump. However, that wouldnt explain the non-starting engine.possible cause is your starter motor, or its engagement mechanism. May be worth fixing.
Dexter Gold: Don't jump to any conclusions prematurely! You need to check the basics first to see if any major engine failure has occurred. The first thing is for the mechanic to see if your timing belt has broken. If not, then you may simply need a new water pump or radiator hose. Your car is not that old that it can't be repaired assuming you've given good maintenance. Don't invest thousands of dollars (moocho pounds) in this car, but if the engine and transmission are good, the cost to repair it could be much less than the cost of a new car. However, you need a good mechanic that is fair and not out to take advantage of you....Show more
Oswaldo Rayburn: When I have this concern I consistently ask myself if I might pay the fix invoice for the automobile. In different phrases understandin! g that your automobile had a brand new transmission establishe! d and anyone was once promoting it, might you pay $1200.00 for it? I might say chunk the bullett and pay the invoice, you more commonly would possibly not discover a larger automobile for $1200.00 and if you happen to get a brand new automobile you'll get hit with complete insurance policy coverage as good as prime curiosity charges. Plus due to the fact that you do not positioned plenty of miles on it, due to the fact that it was once walking exceptional instead of the transmission you more commonly don't have another principal maintenance for a whilst. Good good fortune!...Show more
