The above car stopped as I was travelling home for the Xmas on 21/12/2012. When a mechanic was called in, it was discovered that there was no water in the radiator and the oil had leaked also. Both oil and water were checked before the journey and there was no indication on the dashboard to suggest any problems. The top gasket was burnt according to the mechanic. After allowing the car to cool off, the radiator was filled up with water and the car was driven to the mechanic workshop.
The top gasket was changed and the leaking engine oil seals replaced, but the car refused to start ever since then.
The mechanic claims it is an electrical problem. Some auto electricians had been called in, yet the car cannot start.
I made the following observations while the car was being fixed:
1 Sensor cable was damaged but replaced.
2 One tooth of the flywheel sprocket at damaged.
3 Double paper top gasket was used.
4 Coupling of the enginee did not look satisfactory by my observation.
5 The engine cranks but cannot pick up current.
Please, my fellow CR4 members, what do you think would have gone wrong? Assist.
Thanks
