Discussion
Hello, embarrassed to ask, but my girlfriend has done something to her pride and joy. When driving to work she noticed her temp light come on, she did the right thing pull over, open bonnet, let it cool and investigate. She generally understands the process of what happens when an engine overheats, so you can imagine my reaction when she rang me and told me she put a pint of oil in the "wrong place" She has managed to pour a pint of water straight into where the black stuff goes. Now she rang me after she did it and i explained:
A - her intelligence amazes me
B- not to start the car and get a lift to work
At this point i thought it may be possible to fix this, until her stupid Auncle rang me tell me he picked her car up, and has driven it home (approx 2miles). Is the engine now ruined as the water has got into everywhere else? Or by miracle if i flush the oil out replace filters, plugs etc can i bring it back to life? Need to know whether its worth the time/effort/hassle or to just put it on fleabay for spares or repair?
