I took all the radiator fluid out, and then drove around for about 45 minutes to flush the rest out of the block. The temp. gauge went all the way up but I was told by a friend who owns a turbo hatchback that that is okay and to keep driving.

No the car won't start. I hear the starter trying to go, but it seems like the crank won't even turn. Ideas?

 

Huh? There is a bolt on the back of the block to drain the fluid out.

 

you drove around 45 minutes without coolant?? my guess is your engine overheated and all the internal pieces siezed together

 

OMG!!

 

all you had to do was remove the lower radiator hose to drain the rest of the fluid in the engine block

 

are you kidding me?!?

you might want to add (deceased) after your 01 R now too in your sig...

 

Ok I read it again, did you really drive it around for 45 minutes with out fluid?

 

...this is worse than misshifting. .

the guy who told you to do this isnt much of a friend.

giving false info / unsure info to friends = x 100

 

re-read this sentence again, but this time take out radiator fluid and substitute OIL for this word...would you do that? This doesn't make sense to me, why would you drive a car w/out fluids that it is INTENDED to have???

You didn't find this odd when your "friend" suggested this?
I'd be interested to see a picture of your seized engine...

 

I'd have to say that your friend is a moron.

 

You might be wee-toddid if...............

 

Bummer........What do you do for enemies.

That sucks. But what did you exspect, unless your in Canada in the middle of winter. 45 mins .... Wow.

 

I'm a bit confused. If you really did run your car with no coolant for 45 minutes, than I don't have anything to add.

 

Another thing ........WHY?????

I can't think why you not only wanted all the coolant out, But you wanted it DRIED OUT...WHY?
That pretty **** for a coolant change. and now....bloodly expensive.

Maybe I'll never understand.

 

Hey atleast it wasn't stolen or wrecked. You got some steel ***** riding around after draining your coolant.

 

I was just kidding guys

 

Whew! I had a feeling you were, but I wanted to flame away.

"kiding"..... man I hope you are... if not then I suggest you take my wife off my hands. I'm sure you two would have alot in commen......

 

stupid as it sounds, you may have an insurance claim for the damage under comprehensive.. They cover some types of owner induced damage as long as it wasn't done on purpose to damage the car.. ie they cover stupidity..

 

I sure hope you're kidding.
