Hi,
A friend of mine got an identical car like my wife - an A140. One day in the winter (about -5deg.C) she ran at the highway in about 100km/h. Suddently a little "bump" sound appear, but she continue driving. Then after a few minutes the oil warning lamp lit on, and another few second later the engine totally crash! Later on, at the garage, they said that the engine had a blocked vent. hose (blocked with ice/slug condense), and that when this occure, it will "spit" out all the engine oil at once. She should of course have stopped the engine immedently, but.. women.
-It is said that this happen too small engines only, that only run short distanse in the winter...
I'm a little bit concerned, because my wife has an identical car, and at last routine control, the mechanics said that: "you got some condese in the carburator intake".
Anything I can do to prevent a engine crash? -I'm afraid that my wife will continue too drive too - even if the oil warning will start to glow!
-Afraid husband!
