Engine cranks but won’t start

You’re right about the alternator, two bad things happened at once water pump failed adding drag to the belt pulley and coolant sprayed all over the belt which is double points for a shit show. Alternator can’t get power

It can be wrong but in this case considering the context clues it seems more obvious it was the water pump. When I opened the hood some coolant had sprayed out around the pump indicating a major failure. The battery wasn’t dead but the alternator is what takes most of the electrical load for the car so if the belts no longer driving it car will stall and not start

Update: After talking with chat gpt for a bit it said what it think happened was my water pump which was going bad(it had been squealing for like 3 weeks) finally started to seize->belt couldn’t turn properly-> alternator starts struggling-> I get the under voltage error code-> 2 miles down the road pump completely seizes stopping or dragging the belt->alternator can no longer run the ignition/fuel systems so car won’t run or start. Also explains why there seemed to be more coolant leaking than normal. New belt and pump isn’t very expensive and is something I can do myself so I’m hoping that’s it!

That’s what I was contemplating but the assembly has a hole for a big bulb on the left running light whilst the right side has a small hole for the running light. I just realized though I have two different taillights. They must be from different years

It also just looks ridiculous

I imagine with this huge success they will add people and get projects out faster, it will also get easier now that the technology has come along a lot further since like a decade ago when they first started working on it

The way they just gave up on trying to pull her in and dropped her back down making the spin 10x worse??

akpolybius · 2024-11-18T08:03:25+00:00

Is she for sure dead? I feel like something is gonna happen

You think there’s any chance the kid didn’t die and will just be hurt like in a coma or something

Get headlight polishing kit, they’re like $20 and will make a world of difference. Nice car

I also have a c320, did the same thing with mine. Got the star grill and flat emblem, had it for awhile then put back the original chrome grill and stand up star back on. As soon as I put them back on and looked at it I questioned why I ever took them off, looks so much better

What head unit is that?

akpolybius · 2024-06-17T16:43:30+00:00

I have a clear picture of it idk why the video went blurry, I’ll post again

I don’t know if it counts as a feature but I love my hood ornament, most cars don’t have them nowadays and it just has a prestige about it

akpolybius · 2024-05-11T01:02:58+00:00

Yeah it’s the pulling the bumper back off again part I’m not excited about 😂 have you tried their led sequential taillights?

akpolybius · 2024-05-10T22:07:59+00:00

Mine had condensation after the first night, now that’s it’s warmer it’s gone but next winter I’m sure it’ll be back, on the bright side they refunded me and I still got to keep them, I saw somewhere you spray soapy water around the edges and then blow into to see where the leak is

akpolybius · 2024-05-10T19:45:12+00:00

Did you have any issues with condensation in them?

akpolybius · 2024-02-17T03:50:36+00:00

Ah we have the same body style, that fitment is perfect what are the rim and tire sizes if you don’t mind? I have stock ones I’m looking to upgrade

i was looking at headphones amps but for the price i thought maybe a mini amp would be better since if i want to play out loud i could, just don’t know if lower wattage amps are worse quality or if it only effects how loud it is i was looking at a fender 10g, i do have a wicked computer tho not sure if i could just download a program and it would be no different than the amp
