Radiator light?? Or the catalytic converter light? Did your temperature gauge move beyong half point? Where is the car now? Does it start? Did it happen before now? Can you bring it to Das Autoworks?

You probably ripped your drive belt.

its the Yellow light that shows the radiator..
The Car Starts Normally if i poured Water into the radiator the temp is ok.. but after 2 mins all the water goes down... then the engine over heats again.. it reaches the max !

Steering wheel is just cant be turned..

The Car now is in dubai Near Terminal 3 i cant move it anyway unless i cant just turn the steering wheel

+1 to what SSup....your belt is gone.... check underneath the car too...you should see the water leaking out...

[Moe']

Exactly !

Yes, your fan belt is cut. Happened to me on a round about in motion - beat that? :P

if you are saying after u filled the radiator of the water & all goes down that mean there is problem in the radiator or expansion tank, and maybe the power steering pump belt gone, contact Ayham and send the car to Das Autoworks
