Guess whats broken on my car. please help.

OK so i was driving on the interstate and i hear a strange sound almost like skweaky belt and i notice that my temp gage is maxed out so i go over to the slow lane and i slow down to 60 and begine to smell something burning so i put on my hazard lights and get off at the exit and my battery dies i cost into a service station and my car is smoking and when i try to turn it over smoke comes from the dip stick for oil. So I have no idea what it is car turned over when it cooled down and made that skweaky clicking noise. What would that be and how much would it cost to fix.

Your engine probably had the oil pump fail. The squeaky noise was likely the bearings in the engine tearing themselves apart when they ran out of oil.

Smoke from the dipstick means something burned up inside the engine. Bad news. You likely need a new engine.

oooooohhh crap. I was gonna say fried alternator bearings before you mentioned the smoke throught the dipstick. Sounds like some nasty carnage inside the engine. You'll know as soon as you drail the oil out

Why would the battery die at the same time then?


Coincidence?

 

[trav_19]

i dont think the battery died it just stalled out and he coasted ...am i right or you mean all electronic died everything dead? it says after he got to the station he tried to turn it over.

Ahhh .... so the battery didn't die.





This does not sound good .... Good luck with it man.

check all of your pulleys and ensure all of then turn freely especially your waterpump pulley ensure it didnt freeze up...

sooo.....*plays taps*

I think your engine may have had it. Nothing that you posted sounded good....at all lol. Hopefully its just some kind of a weird, strange problem.....but the way its sounding I doubt it

good luck on that

What does the oil look like? Does it look like milk chocolate or normal?

When I blew a HG, smoke was coming out the dipstick from the coolant in the oil.
