as usual driving back from work (Perth) to home (Lakelands), just doing normal cruising speed, 100km/hr. about 5-10 minutes from home, suddenly almost all my warning light were on, Uploaded with ImageShack.us and the steering become heavy. i kept driving it until i got home, and opened the bonnet, white steam coming from the engine at windscreen side, and i can see water pouring underneath the car. the temperature gauge is still in normal temp. i hope it's only radiator hose leak and not bigger problem, but i need to prepare for the worst. so, what's the worst scenario?
stock temp guage is a gay peice of crap... so chances are its buggered anyways.. worstcase is your heads have warped and cracked and need replacing... but chances are thats not the case... soudns like your heater hoses have died (steam at back of engine) but check your belts cos if steering has gone heavy and your getting too hot it sounds like your belts are gone check they are there and if they are check the pulleys particularly the crank pulley to make sure they are turning and are still attached properly
Hi give me a bell on 0437805650 and I might be able to come round and have a quick look for you. I'm in Greenfields and may be able to diagnose the problem for you. Andy
All of that happened to me when my crank pully nearly fell off. Nothing was turning so nothing was working.
