djg99 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Im very sad!! My car has died :-( i found out why my car was making a loud knocking noise, looks like a valve as possibly snapped off in the engine. Turns out a blown fuse has stopped my oil light from coming on........... and yes as no light came on i carried on driving it until there was no more oil!!!! [sAD][/sAD] so now what do i do as cant tell what damage has been done! new engine, scrap or rebuild?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Sorry to hear that your car is dead. Although I dont think you will get much sympathy on here dude, where you said I found out why my car was making a loud knocking noise It begs the question for just how long were you running your car with this knocking sound? As people have said you have a dipstick to check for oil and thats the first thing i would have done if i heard the slightest strange sound. Anyway mate i am sorry to hear your engine is dead never nice to have that happen Edited June 2, 2010 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 It might be just me, but whenever I start my car I watch for the lights coming on with ignition, then going off once running. How long has it been since you serviced the car?. To lose that amount of oil in a short space of time would mean the leak would be pretty catastrophic.

I also regularly check my oil levels (It's a turbo car!!). I could never just drive around oblivious to what was going on with the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
