Question ?
Hi Guys need some info, is it possible water leakage from the radiator can seep through the starter motor and fly wheel.
2nd question, is it possible for water from small flood from the ground to enter the starter motor and fly wheel. The starter motor being quite low under the undercarriage. I cannot start my car, the mechanic told me when they dismantle the starter motor it was found to be rusty. :rolleyes: |

(this is not the 1st case, we have seen n rectify 2 cases) 2. Is there any cranking sound? 3. Did anyone test ur engine compression? 4. Any check engine light? If yes, wat is the fault code? 5. Did u check ur spark plugs as well? Any rust? |
i think most important of all, he should describe his ride, like how old, got it new? second hand? mileage? anything recently done to the car like significant mod?

yes I do have top up my coolant from time to time.

AFAIK, no modern car should require a coolant top-up from time to time...top-up meaning refilling to keep the level in the coolant overflow tank from dropping below the 'min' marking.

I've just replaced a brand new starter motor, right now my car can move but I'm still having the same problem, my coolant is low again.
I would like to send my car in for further check, please recommend me a good workshop. |
