» CMF MemberI took my car to a mechanic after letting the problem sit for a while, the problem being a knocking noise from the bottom end of the motor.
It was dianosed as a bent conrod, with possible bearing damage. From my understading, water entered the cylinder, and as the piston went down to compress, the conrod, connecting the crankshaft to the piston, gave way under pressure as water does not compress; air/fuel does.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem ? i know theres no easy way to fix it, but has anyone any suggestions as to how much a rebuild of a micra motor would cost ?
