You've probably got a pretty big bill on your hands. For your sake, I hope a miracle happened and you didn't fry your heads/valves. _____________________________ My Registry Page (in reply to xxemranxx) Post #: 2

The total cost of the repair was $5000 installed with a new water pump timing belt and rollers. Sorry bro. (in reply to modset) Post #: 6

If it was at idle and you shut it off right away, you might get lucky. Man, that sucks big time. _____________________________ 2001 Audi A6 4.2 Sport - Silver 2004 Lexus IS 300 SD - Black (in reply to auditech79) Post #: 7
