and my heart was going BOOM BOOM BOOM

driving home today in heavy traffic the car started to judder and then almost conked out. then steam from under the bonnet. so after some guys helped me push her out of the way I called the AA.

 

Quick as you like (15 mins) Guy was looking under bonnet and saying things like just a hose popped off. So im thinking not too much of a problem.

 

after he fixed the hose i turned the car over to an idle reminicent of an old Fiesta that has been thrashed one too many times.

 

The AA Guy exclaims" Think it might be f***ed, sounds like the head gasket) :cry:

 

Well after towing it to my VW spannerman and thinking ive only had her a month and Ive killed her.

 

He has a look and says was it steaming? could it have got into the dizzy?

pop it off and wipe it out.

 

Turned her over and

 

Sorted :D :D :D

Sh*t mate my heart was going BOOM BOOM BOOM reading that as well.. was it the hose going from the block to the heater matrix? I think they're prone to failure due to their location and the heat.

 

Glad you got it sorted relatively easily :)

 

I'm going to stop lurking here.. it's bad for my health...
