Sand in the engine

[knine]

My nephew eneded up with sand in the motor of his mothers VW bug. First one to guess how wins. Think very creatively.

[Black_Noise]

off roading in a construction site at 2:45 am and a .13 B.A.C.?

[Black_Noise]

or and oil change with that new 5w-gritty oil?

[Zack]

Forgot to put the air filter back in after blowing it out with compressed air?

[Siege]

Tried to port and polish the engine the quick way. ;)

Or he hit a frozen bag of sand that was in the road and ripped the oil pan but not before injecting sand into the engine and intake.

[Mike Poore]

I tend to agree with Zack on the no air filter scenario; but if it's in the crankcase, it's because some azzhole put it there. It's happened before.

[Mike Poore]

Think very creatively.

He decided to make the corroded aluminum engine nice and shiny with a sand blaster?

[SC Cheesehead]

Perhaps a variant of direct sugar injection technology?

Certain friends of yours?? :gangster:

I think we have a winner with this answer. A few idiots posted this "port and polish" stuff on the Internet and a lot of people have tried it.

[TCBO1]

Wow... don't they know it's not for real... geeez... common sense would go along way sometimes. :rolleyes:

That was my first guess also. The internet is like a chainsaw. It's a wonderfull tool when used properly, but can be dangerous when some people have unsupervised access.

[arejayesss]

I'm gonna say that someone was doing some sandblasting in the driveway behind the car. Maybe they were refacing kitchen cabinets, or something to that effect. Anyways, the overspray blew right up the tailpipe and into the engine.

[Bluerauder]

Think very creatively.
Someone used sand to soak up some spilled oil in the driveway or garage and put it back in an empty oil container and forgot to dispose of it. He just grabbed the bottle to add oil without checking the contents and dumped it into the car. Viola !!! Sand in the engine. :o

.... Or he hit a frozen bag of sand that was in the road and ripped the oil pan but not before injecting sand into the engine and intake. ;)

[ckadiddle]

He was adding some kitty litter for the "cats".

[CRZYBIKER]

A mud daubing wasp built a nest in the intake area. (hey you said be creative!)

[pantheroc]

Literally used seafoam from the ocean?

Built sand castle using the VW?

Trying to make a sand casting of the engine?

[Egon Spengler]

Instead of burying their brother or sister in the sand, they buried the car?

[ckadiddle]

Someone told him to "go pack sand" and he did.

[hot-rauder]

i thought of the kid that put the sand to his intake and started the car.... it was on a Subaru forum. lmao

yep he tried to port and polish the cheap way.

[knine]

No-one is even close yet. :dunno:

[Zack]

I believe his mother is the proud owner of a VW Baja Bug.

[n00bkiller944]

HE thought the oil cap was the trunk latch and was trying to build a sandbox in the trunk? OR he buried the whole car in the beach during the night, and then walked around with a metal detector and then some beautiful girl asked him what he was looking for, and then dug it back up to look special?

[Blackened300a]

The big question is, How old is your nephew? If hes a little kid then Im going with him just dumping the sand into the gas tank. If hes older and considering that its too damn cold for him to be on the beach. Is it possible that he tried to put out a small fire by dumping a bucket of sand on the engine and then without cleaning it, he started it up which sucked the sand into the intake?:confused:

Maybe during a oil change in a attempt to clean up accidental spill on the floor, he filled the new oil filter with some sand to dump on top of the spill then he just tapped out what remaining sand that was left in the filter and installed it?

[hot-rauder]

he droped the spark plugs on the ground and proceeded to install them without brushing them off?

how much sand are we talking here?

air filter was dirty so he took it out and thoughthe would get more air in the motor without the filteror box.... drove around without an air box?

i feel bad that we are all assuming this kid did something stupid/ calling him dumb but i cant help but come up with foolish situations.

[knine]

He's 21, nope, nope and nope. Keep guessing, no-one is even warm yet

[n00bkiller944]

^^^Got drunk and doesnt remember?

[Bluerauder]

He went to Home Depot to get two 50 lb. bags of sand. He opened the rear of the VW bug and threw them in the "trunk" and took off. :rofl:

[Zack]

Motor = Electrical device
Engine = Mechanical device.

Am I on the right track?

New or old Bug?

[n00bkiller944]

^^^I applaud you

[hot-rauder]

he wanted to make sure his mom couldnt go anywhere, so he threw sand in the tank?

[knine]

New or old Bug?
Engine, new bug

[knine]

Uh, Bluerauder....no, My sig says elwood illinois, nowhere near a beach

[knine]

Think "unintentional" and "distracted driver" or "driver just not paying attention"

[hot-rauder]

rear ended a dump truck full of sand?

[Blackened300a]

rear ended a dump truck full of sand?

bingo! Or drove it up on a pile of sand.

[knine]

close. warmer. almost there, Blackened300a is almost there !!!! Clue: Cold weather. Very cold weather. FREEEEEEZing cold

[Zack]

This thread is worthless without Miller Lite Paraphanalia

[hot-rauder]

slid on ice and hit sand pile??

or the sand truck slid and hit him???

[knine]

nope........

[sociopath001]

did he take the intake tube off and drive behind a salt truck?

[Cordoba1]

He changed his oil with "Oil-Sand" from North Canada instead of 5W-20?

[Mike]

This thread sounds like something Motorhead would start :beer:

[hot-rauder]

Can we wrap this up? I'm getting tired of coming back to this thread! You have my interest, already!! So how did it happen???


trust me i tried.... i think we are going to have to guess this one.:rolleyes:

[Blackened300a]

Stuck on ice and decided to throw a pile of sand down to get traction?

[Badger]

Sand accidently left in block from when it was forged.

You sucked the life right out of this. O.K., he hit a frozen bag of sand that was in the road, ripped the oil pan but not before injecting sand into the pan and intake. Sand in the oil filter too. There, now you have time to go read another thread about Tallboy not being here.

[Mike Poore]

Wow! And all along I was assuming it was an old style rear engine beetle. With hitting something solid enough to rip open the oil pan you would expect he'd have lost control of the poor thing. I guess you can be thankful he had the driving skill, or good fortune that no one was hurt. BTW, we'd guess the engine's toast, what's a new one cost these days?

wow.... this one was wierd. glad i now know. hopefully everything works out for him and the repairs arent too costly!

You ruined the story and the suspense!!! :mad2:

[SILVERSURFER03]

Tried to port and polish the engine the quick way. ;)

I could easily see myself with a Dune Buggy with a small block in the rear. :burnout:

Nice try, Mr. "Whistles innocently"

[Blackened300a]

My cousin had a 01 Jetta and he went through 2 oil pans in it. It seems to be a common thing with those cars.

Could be they're using the same stuff they made the covers for the rear ends of the MM. :rolleyes:
