Right, so my little crappy first car is starting to prove troublesome.
I have no experience or knowledge of any car mechanics, so forgive me if my descriptions are a bit shit.
Basically, the engine is really, really loud, but not on idle. It only gets really, really, monster-like loud when I push the gas down past a certain point (Waaay before half way). Also, if I do push it past here, a smell starts to get around. This has brought a noticeable speed decrease, meaning I can hardly get up fucking hills, going between 10-20mph.
I've checked oil levels, and the first time I checked it, it was pretty damn low, but I've filled it up between the min and max mark with the right oil (5W30), and I've checked the engine coolant levels.
The car is a Ford Fiesta 1997 R Reg, 1.3 litre engine, red.
The reason I ask BF2s is because I have no fucking money to spend on asking a desperate mechanic what's up and I don't know anyone who won't rip me off.
I had some guy take a quick look, and he said that there's air getting in somewhere when the engine revs, as it makes a hissing noise when it revved, but he couldn't find where. My dad says he'll rip me off, so I can't ask him again really, lol.
Anyone have any idea of what this could be and what I'm looking at? Could the lack of oil have fucked my engine up? Is it just this hole somewhere in the engine that's fucking me about?
