FTO AUSTRALIA

Hello to all
We are relatively new to FTO`s and have been slack in contacting you to say how we are going on my Daughters FTO since our last post, sorry .
Well after some great deliberation in months gone by we have finally convinced our RWC guy, the trim that exploded was not a RWC item and he finnally passed the car and is now registered.However we now have a more dire problem on our hands i feel.
My Daughter was driving about a week ago with an apparent " little rattle " as she called it at 80ks or so.
I checked and found it had very little oil in the engine. ( i topped it up ). The rattle has now turned into a knock and she brioke down and had to be towed home.
To me it sounds terminal ,maybee big ends or valve gear not sure due to the knock being so loud i dont want to run it for to long.
I know without hearing it it is hard to diagnose however anyone with any clues ?
We are located south of melbourne if any one can help PLEASE
I feel we may be up for a new engine or mabee able to repair if i know who to contact for parts
Your responce is much appreciated thanks David & Sam

sounds nasty... and nasty normally equals expensive
i'd recommend booking an appointment for nandi to take a look at it.

details can be found at the link below -

if you tell nandi the details he'll probably be able to tell
you whether to risk driving it to him or to get it towed.

(don't forget to mention that you're from the FTO club )
