Re: Car broke down, after owning it for 1 day

Yea Im puzzled about the loss of oil. Didnt get under the car to check for that as it was in the street. I just dont know about that.

The starter can still spin the engine, I couldnt turn it past a certain point because I didnt have much leverage. BUT the main thing is that the cams didnt rotate, which means the timing belt did slip and now only the crank spins.

I dont think the engine is seized, it turned a litle bit for me, and that is probably becuase it stopped on the valves that are to far down.

You are positive you checked the oil right before he drove it away from the sale? Hey and why did you give me a bad reputation? Someone did between a couple hours ago and now.
