Well I finaly got my car back after a month of being at my mechanic. Here's the deal. I hoped in my car on my lunch break. Warmed it up for about 90 seconds, and took off. I drive for maybe 40 ft and see my oil light flicker. So i turn of to check oil and bam it comes full on and my motor starts ticking like hell. NO oil pressure. That's what idiot lights are for. Instant it come on i kill the motor. Take it to mechanic. Really reputable good guy. Tears in say's oil pump shatterd into peices!!! And you have to take timing chain off to get to it. So i let him keep the car till i raise enough cash for, new timing chain, tensioner,slider,water pump and oil pump. Glad to get chain fixed any way cause my tensioner was garbage. Any body else ever have this problem?? I saw the oil pump {I think}. It was a gear looking thing. That was in like 8 peices. My car runs beautiful now bye the way. Thanks org.

 

That sucks. How much did that set you back?

 

Bump and it cost me around 500 cause I work off some of the debt to my mechanic by installing car stereo's in his and his family's car's since he doesn't have time to. Any body ever hear of oil pumps just exploding?

 

very very rare occasions

 

wow... i have never heard of that since i've been here.. :\

 

So am I the only one?? Anything i can do to prevent this from happening agin?

 

well **** you are the first!!!hahaha

man that sucks, i hopie it works out well for you

 

Why was the car at the shop? Did they cause it?

 

damn man that suuuucks... i just spent about 2 grand a mechanic shop, but my parents covered the tap

 

No it just gave out on my lunch break at work one day. I had it towed to the shop. They did a beautiful job on my car though. Runs better than befor I think.

 

Wow , thats pritty bad, why was your car in the shop in the first place. Was it oil related?

i hope you know the mechanic your dealing with cause something doesnt seem right if it breaks 40ft from the shop....

 

i love doing stereo installs. it makes/saves me so much money

 

wash ur car allready lol thats no way to treat ur max

 

So is it better or not?

 

My car was never in the shop to begin with me. Just broke one day at work. It runs better than befor.
