Seized engine
Friend call this morning asking about her car. Mechanic claims new engine needed to the tune of 9-11,000 for a used engine on a 2017 CX 5, none turbo. The words BS couldn't come out of my mouth fast enough. Ex- husband is worthless so I decided to call the mechanic to dig a bit more. The mechanic told me the engine isn't cranking over so I reply with," it was cranked at the crank bolt with a wrench and plugs out?" A slight hesitation, Yes. OK now they want to investigate further by pulling the oil pan. I small a rat here. I am also told that the engine was a bit over filled with oil. So the theory of no oil burning the engine is out.
She drove off the off ramp and the car lost power and she pulled over to the other side and call tow truck. No over heating so we ruled that out too. What else can it be?
