G’day,
Wondering if someone could give me an idea on what might be wrong with my ute.
It overheated yesterday, driving in high temps. Unbeknownst to me, I’ve a slow leak in the radiator and ran out of coolant on the way home for a trip.
Engine started ticking when I accelerated, so found a place to pull over ASAP.
Got the RACV out to have a look and ended up being towed home. Engine wouldn’t turn over yesterday. Tried it today, and it does, but running like a sack of ****.
I’ve topped up the water again, and also the oil, as that was rather low also.
Knocking has stopped, but it’s not running ok at all.
Any ideas what damage I might have done? Just so I’ve got a rough idea and know how much $$$ I’m up for when my mechanic reopens in the new year?
