cruising at 80mph then metallic tapping and small "explosion" and plume of white smoke. 4 seconds later a bigger bang and a cloud of black smoke, everywhere. preliminary inspection shows that the #1 or 3 cylinder or rod went through the block. she's gone. whats really odd is that i have 2 other cars (one a vq 5sp) and i'm fairly upset obout it. my brother was driving at the time this happened but he said that she went out Formula 1 blow-up style. uncle pete, you could appreciate his exact words. " she went like Williams on a bad day.
this afternoon my VE suffered a catastrophic failure in the line of duty.
