My Arosa had problems in the cold weather just before Christmas ............ I thought I totalled the engine by driving her with the oil light coming on ..... anyway ...... GOOD NEWS ...... she came back to me today after a spell at the Garage and a bill for £366.00 including a fresh MOT certificate .......... it went like this:
Just before Christmas car stopped and oil warning light came on, luckily not far from home
Car left on road outside house until after Christmas
RAC had a look, recovered car and trailered it to Garage
Garage had a good look expecting at best a new head gasket and at worst a totalled engine
problem diagnosed as frozen/ceased water pump (we had minus 18 deg C when the car stopped going)
timing belt had lost a couple of notches trying to drive the water pump
yours truly supplied new fluids
Garage supplied everything else
SORTED
Happy days ...... I can now stop using the DB9 for work
