Re: Won't turn over
So I picked my brother up yesterday and drove to his workplace to troubleshoot. He had a brand new Chilton manual for the van and I started looking at the trouble shooting 'won't turn over' section and find a bunch of stuff he already did, i.e., battery, starter etc. I see the TRS as a possibility, and 'engine seized'. He told me he just left Fast Eddies after getting an oil change when it died, so I pull the dipstick and it is bone dry!!!
So we go to Fast Eddies and find out they have video of every oil change. They pull up the day he was there and we proceed to watch the whole thing.
They start the drain, check the air in the tires, add some washer fluid, and then he opens the door and leaves!! No oil. Unbelievable. That's why I change my own oil. Still not sure why no lights, or why he didn't here the thing running rough before it died, but he blares his radio like a teenager even though he'll be 40 in couple of weeks.
The owner is supposed to take a look at the van today, and so far he's saying he will either replace the engine or pay him blue book value for it.
