@siena 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.

Take this to the car talk section

OK,thanks
