There were no events leading to the failure everything was fine until I heard the engine knocking and then I took it straight to a dealer to have them look at it where it was then discovered the engine had been blown due to a bearing breaking. The garage said that it wasn't worth rebuilding the engine and would be better off buying a new engine which I couldn't afford due to me being a college student.
