smoke'm Member 104 Member For: 17y 6m Gender: Male Location: adelaide, SA Posted 05/03/10 05:32 AM Share Posted 05/03/10 05:32 AM Was driving my T the other day when suddenly at the lights I tried to accelerate forward and to my surprise I go no where, engine revs highly and doesnt move. called my tuner after discovering my overflow tank full off wat looked like trans fluid. early diagnosis is radiator is shgged hoepefully that is it I just dropped it off on a flat bed to him, lucky the trans has been built or my tuner said I would prob been picking pieces up of the ground. fingers crossed there is no other damage.

If there's oil in the coolant there's a fair chance there's coolant in the oil too.Dunno how having a 'built box' would offer any protection from this sort of thing? ...hopefully I'm wrong though!
