- VXii 3.8 Supercharged
Hey folks.
Ride is a VXii 3.8 supercharged. Had the car 3 years, very reliable, always started first kick.
Three weeks ago i blew a heater valve in heater hose line. Engine beeped very hot, computer appeared to shut down engine and i was roadside for a day. Replaced heater valve next day, all good. I did however, degrease and washdown engine bay which wet some electrics. Dried everything and got her running. All good again.
Then progressively every day harder and harder to start, until today when it wouldnt start at all.
Not sure if the recent overheating is related or not, or has damaged something which has progressively worsened , but the current status is car wont start.
All fluids maintained regularly, battery is strong, driven daily.
Any ideas or advice is gratefully welcome. Thanks in advance.
