Hi Everyone,

Last night on my way to the Raptors game, the red battery light came on a few kms from the parking lot.

Steering nearly became impossible and the low coolant light came on as well.

Any ideas?

Had to leave the car parked overnight so that I could make an early meeting this morning and I'm getting it towed shortly.

Dealer recently did fluids. Oil change, coolant flush, diff. Engine bay was a mess after this service and I let them know. Now I get this.

Not sure if I should take it to the local dealership where I bought the car and did this recent service or the not so local to me performance shop that has done the tune, exhaust, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I'm betting you shredded your accessories belt and/or a pulley failed. Nothing leaking right?

^ yep, those plastic pulleys can fail as they wear.

Mr. Lin

that happened to me. exact symptoms. shredded serp belt. some of the coolant bubbled out of the reservoir and all.

If coolant is bubbling out that isn't good, you are probably over heating or very close. With no belt your water pump won't turn and cool the engine.

Mr. Lin

I may have been driving at a high rate of speed when it happened, but immediately pulled over and stopped the car and yeah, it was getting up there.
