Agghh
I was leaving the car park where I worked the other day. I have a r reg punto (45,000mls), which started fine but there was a strange noise, I revved the engine thinking it might disappear and it died. The RAC told me that the engine was seized, could have been many reasons he said. Oil pump failure - although there were no warning lights, or cambelt failure, but there wasn't alot of noise.
After talking to my garagethey suggested I will need a new engine, which I've had to source from a breakers, does £250 for a 44,000 mile engine sound ok? I haven't actually shown the garage the car yet could it be anything else?
When I bought the car it came with 2 blue keys, no red key. Will I need this red key to start the car when a new engine has been fitted?? I guess that the engine is connected to the immoilser some how.
Thanks in advance
