would no oil cause car to cut out? - Welshdrg - 04-03-2013
basically all in the title!
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Mattcheese31 - 04-03-2013
it'd cause it to die . .

Depends if it siezed the engine. Otherwise probably not as tu engines have mechanical lifters as opposed to hydraulic

Yeah probably, it'd seize up and cut out, Might start again once it's cooled but basically the damage will have been done.
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Jimbo - 04-03-2013
The engine would have got very noisey before siezing though so if it did good chance the engine is knackered now

This is a bit of a ridiculous thread tbh.
Would you die without water? Yes
Would you burn yourself if you stuck your hand in a fire? Yes

Yeh with no oil its fairly screwed :/ My 1.4 did 5 miles after the sump plug fell out... it survived and was all fine and was scrapped due to oil leaks and needing a headgasket :/

I'm holding my breath for the next thread "Would no fuel cause car to cut out?"
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - ozonehostile - 04-03-2013
be prepared for losing engine internals lol

Would driving without properly torqued wheel bolts cause the wheels to fall off? Ask Matt.

As I said in chatbox, I expect it was coincidence that it cut out. The TU isn't smart enough to realise low oil pressure will kill it afaik.
Plus, how many litres of oil did you 'fill' it with again afterwards? I'm betting it wasn't dry....

Would eating toxic crayons result in long lasting and irreparable brain damage? Ask Niall

Would no being in the car with your keys in your pocket mean you car would drive its self? Unless your grant, no.
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Welshdrg - 05-03-2013

As much as your question was sincere, it was a little bit silly buddy, might want to use common sense in the future.

I hate you.
Would driving with a partially hydro locked engine cause the rods to throw? Ask.. Oh wait
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Scott - 05-03-2013
We're not ripping it out of you by the way, we can't expect everyone who joins up to be mechanics or engineers and be able to dismantle an engine with a paperclip, so don't take it personally
we're mainly just taking the piss out of he more longstanding members.

Would asking any question about any other car cause Tom 306 to reply with a sentence hinting at his predisposition to bumming golfs, as well as his longstanding distrust of 306s....

Ah there was loads left in there then!
. Seriously, it'll probably be fine, however i'd want to know where all the oil went...is it leaking or burning? Keep an eye on it. Incidentally, golfs don't often leak oil, whereas 306s almost always do... /dunnowhatedsonabout

There are a couple of mk4 tdi's round my way; every time I see them start, puffs of blue, and blue haze all the way up the road....
I know where the oil leaks...
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Toms306 - 05-03-2013
Can't say I've seen a blue smoking mk4 (thats a mk2 thing lol), but plenty of coal usually as they're driven by old people that don't clear them out.
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Piggy - 05-03-2013
so why did it cut out?!
RE: would no oil cause car to cut out? - Toms306 - 05-03-2013
Because it's a 1.4. Its probably got a f*cked coilpack or something tbh.
