Sportage 4 cyl 1.6L

  • Manual transmission
  • 18,000 miles

Well when I was driving along the motorway at 70 the temperature lever nearly fell off it was that hot. I had to over take the lorry so I sped up to 80. My two girls and my new girlfriend where in the car and when I looked in my mirror there was a cloud and I mean cloud of black and blue smoke. Then there was a almighty squeal and rattling underneath. When I looked out of my mirror again as it is magnified, the lorry behind was getting smashed by metal particles and when I looked again there was a full piston rod and valves stuck in its radiator. There was fire in the engine bay. The lorry kept on going and it was now going faster: scary and dangerous. The rattling had turned out to be a piston getting shot through the exhaust.!!!!!!!

We pulled onto the shoulder, are holiday ruined and a cylinder gone on the Korean beauty.
