I have a 99' vw Beetle. I ran the car on low oil for about a week. Immediately after that, I put oil in the car. When I drove it down the road it started to over heat, and then completely shut off at a red light. I made it to a safe destination. I got an oil change. But then my radiator hose broke. Causing the car to run on little to no water. I would constantly pull over to put more water in it. Finally, smoke was coming out of my car, and it wouldn't start. It finally started. I checked my water pump. It was broken beyond belief. I replaced that, my timing belt, and the tensioner. Also got told it was my head gasket, and got one of those as well.
My car turns over, but will not crank. Water is pouring out of the heads as I try to attempt to crank the car up. Once I attempted to do so my car started dying. The lights were dimming and it slowly "died."
My friend told me my engine might be seized, but I do not want to believe that. Is there any way I could tell if it it, or is there any possibility why my car will not crank up?
