Hi,
Took my car over to the Toyota because of this engine sound (video attached) and the yellow engine light. I have a hybrid, so the sound only comes either when my car is using the engine, or I am accelerating.
At Toyota I was told my engine was fried and that I should either get a new car/new engine.
I wanted to ask if they are 100% sure this the whole engine must go when they have not checked the internal individual parts to ensure a part rather than the whole engine require replacement.
Wanted to know what your thoughts are? Should I take it to a mechanic willing to check the individual parts and hopefully diagnose a problem with a part so I can save myself some money or is the engine truly done for?
Thank you for your time.
