Im baffled.
I have the 2012 1.8L base model. Manual trans.
Car has been running perfectly. Just got my oil changed 3 weeks ago and no issues.
Suddenly out of nowhere i get a funny smell through the heater. I pull over and the coolant reservoir is completely empty.
I have it towed to my shop. My mechanic finds coolant mixed with oil. Suspects a faulty water pump leaked coolant which overheated my engine and warped my head.
But here's the thing, i never had an performance issue, the engine drove great.
I never had a temperature light come on.
I never had a check engine light come on.
Im completely baffled about how this is possible. And obviously im stuck because i need to replace my water pump, coolant reservoir and hoses, refinish my heads and replace my gaskets.
Cost: $2,500
Totally out of nowhere. Is this a known issue? Anything i can do?
Thank you for any advice.
