I HAD MY CAR TO THE GARAGE FOR A COOLENT LEAK AND THEY FIXED IT FOR $752.00 AND NOW MY CAR WON'T START. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. IF IT'S THE FLYWHEEL, CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO HAVE IT FIXED. WITH THE COOLENT LEAK, THEY SAID THE INTAKE VAVLE ON MOTOR WAS STUCK AND THE COOLENT WENT INTO THE ENGINE. DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT?

Hi
The intake gasket leaking coolant into engine is common on that engine. But the price is a little high. As for the starter noise it maybe the starter motor pinion gear pull starter and have it tested. With starter out inspect flywheel.
Let me know
