Title: Things You Never Want To Hear From Your Mechanic


1
Things You Never Want To Hear From Your Mechanic
2
Seized Engine Due to Lack of Oil
A "seized" engine means that your lubrication
failed (that is, you had insufficient oil or oil
pressure), and the expensive moving parts of your
engine scraped each other into a heated glob of
useless scrap metal.
3
 Hydrolocked Engine
There are certain places water shouldn't be like
inside your iPhone, on your original Matisse
watercolor or inside your engine's cylinders.
Normally, your engine's cylinder contains air and
droplets of fuel. The air is compressible, so
when the piston squeezes everything, the pressure
just goes up. Water is not compressible, so when
the piston tries to squeeze the water, the piston
loses.
4
Overheated Engine
If you catch an engine overheating early enough
and take action, you can get by cheaply. It could
be a leaky hose, a stuck thermostat or a loose
clamp.  If your car overheats badly, or
frequently, you can do serious damage. The most
common results of frequent or severe overheating
are a blown head gasket, a cracked head or a
cracked block.
5
Transmission STB
The good news is that your engine is still
running. The bad news? It's no longer connected
to the wheels. Transmissions can fail for a
number of reasons. These days, it's not uncommon
for electronically controlled automatic
transmissions to have problems related to
software or solenoids. Those are not disasters
and can be fixed for relatively little money. 
6
Cracked Head, Blown Head Gasket or Cracked Block
There are a few places you should never see
antifreeze falling from the sky, in your cereal
bowl or coming out your tailpipe. The engine's
cooling system is a closed system, meaning that
the coolant circulates from the engine's cooling
passages to the radiator, the heater core and
back again. It should never leave that loop. 
7
Broken Timing Belt
There are two kinds of engines interference
engines and non interference engines. Or, as we
refer to the interference engines in the trade,
motor wreckers. An interference engine is
actually a more modern engine design, where the
valves open wider and into the path of the
upcoming piston. This lets the engine breathe
better by a proper car repair, giving it more
power and better fuel efficiency.
8
Transmission Fluid in the Brake Fluid Reservoir
If you catch this mistake before you actually get
back in the car and step on the brakes, and have
the car towed to your mechanic, you may get by
with just a new master cylinder. But once a
petroleum based product, like transmission fluid
or motor oil, is pushed through the brake system,
pretty much everything has to be replaced by car
repair. 
9
Catastrophe at the Repair Shop
You know how you'll occasionally break a glass at
home or drop a fork down the garbage disposal?
Well, these kinds of little accidents happen. In
the car repair business, a tiny moment of
carelessness can lead to something much more
exciting, such as a car falling off the lift or
catching fire.
