Foolishly I had my car out last night, and while I was out, my heater
stopped heating, and about 150 feet from my apartment, the car stalled
and refused to start.
When I turn the key, I hear nothing, then click....click....click...
once every 5 seconds maybe? It comes from behind the dashboard
somewhere, or at least sounds like it.
I checked under the hood, the oil looks ok, from what i can tell.
It's extremely clean, so it's difficult to read, but I just had an oil
change.
The coolant was extremely low, and this leads me to believe it
overheated. I don't have a coolant gauge, yet. I ran across the
street and filled up the coolant overflow with some antifreeze, but
still nothing. I waited, and still nothing.
What is going on? What could be wrong with it? Could it be my
battery again? Something with the coolant system? When I got my oil
changed, the mechanic checked the level and told me the freezing point
was a little high. Last night there was nothing in there!? Could the
snow have knocked something loose?
I haven't tried starting it today, but I might later. Maybe if it's
cooled down, it will turn over? Should I get a new battery or
recharge the old one? Jump starting will be difficult given the
conditions.
Please help, otherwise I might have to have it towed to the audi
dealership to what's wrong.
