Just got a Toyota avensis car 2004 model,the ac works well while on top speed,but perform low on low speed,but on coming from Lagos yestaday,I discovered that the temperature gauge suddenly increased,then on noticing such I stopped,only to open the bonnet and discovered that the car was overheating.Poured water inside the radiator,on starting the car again after some while,I discovered that the car couldn't start again,so the car was towed to the nearest mechanic along the road and was told that the gasket is flat(got burnt),the rings broken,was told by the mechanic that those stuffs will be replaced,just want to know maybe it won't cause any serious damage to the engine and hope it will work well after those stuffs are being replaced

yes for sure but make sure it is properly fixed my honda accord when bought as tokunbo did the same.

Headgasket could be bad, but the piston rings I doubt they could authoritatively tell you it is bad just by looking.

Next time your vehicle overheats, allow it self cool to a resonable temp (wait 30mins-1hr) before pouring water, you might save your head gasket from issues like this.

Don't allow the mechanic open the lower part of your engine (pistons,crankshaft,rings)he should just unsrew the head, and change the gasket the head (topcylinder).

OK,thanks,hoping its well fixed,becuz have been scared since it happened,no money to buy new engine.Thanks for all the advises.

What type of engine do u use? Is it the 1az or 2az engine?

You might still have to replace engine keep your fingers crossed.

I'm convinced ur problem was caused by bad cooling fans. That was y ur ac only worked on high speed. The car also dint overheat on high speed cos the air/breeze u were bombarding into, was cooling the system. Check ur fan to forestall a repeat.

was the radiator empty or was it low?

Where did all the coolant go?

This is not the first time it overheated what did you do the last time

is your fan directly connected to run?

You just answered what caused all your problems.

Now one last question if you pull the dipstick on your engine oil what does your engine oil look like?
