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.

 

1. did u always have to top up ur coolant reservoir?
=> if yes, did u check the reservoir tank for cracks?
=> if no crack, and u alway have to top up, most probably, not only ur starter motor is gone. suspect ur water seal damaged and coolant seeped inside ur engine. (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.

where can I send my car for a full check up.....

 

Dun scare me leh...I also have to top up my coolant from time to time...I also dun see any leakage at the coolant reservior...and my plugs are rusty when MG guys took it out...my ride is only 20k....

 

can ur car start and move????

 

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.

tee hee hee! *winks at coupe07*

 

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.
