So after running seafoam through the brake booster vacuum hose I let sit it for 15 minutes like it says to do so. After the 15 minutes were up I tried to start the car up and I heard soemthing break and the car never started. The starter didn't actually break, just the housing around the teeth that covers them. Anyone why it would just break like that? Is it bad for the seafoam to be sitting for hours?

Probably just coincidence. Just replace the starter and see what happens.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone StockComment

Re: starter broke while seafoaming car
So I replaced the starter and it started right up. I had a ticking noise that i've had that went away after running for about 5 seconds, but came back the next morning.<a href=\"http://www.fbodyelpaso.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.fbodyelpaso.org</a> A4 stock 3.42 and LSD not Y87,SLP cold air induction, whisper lid, k&n filter, flowmaster 80 series, hypertech, 160 powerstat thermostat, t/a front bumper, functional nostrils, pacesetter headers best et: 15.9 at about 4800ftComment

think about it, putting a liquid into the engine, stalling it out on purpose, then the next time you try and start it, the starter breaks?
that sure as hell would make me freak out that i just hydrolocked my engine by accidentally putting too much seafoam inComment

Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
