Hi, Bert

Thanks for responding!
This is strange but both banks where cold when I came home and I also smelled gasoline.
While driving the car would not accelerate like it normally does.

I would appreciate more tips and thanks to those who responded!!

Hello everybody,

I drove tonight with my car and the car made a strange noise, I lost all the horsepower!!!
Suddenly at one time the power came back and later it was gone again.
I drove about a distance of 50 km. and when I came home the engine was cold…..
Normally I can’t touch my hands on it because I would burn them!
The temperature meter was standing between zero and the middle, normally it always stands in the middle.

Please can anybody tell me what is wrong with my car
