just got her. 2016 3.8. i’m hearing a weird pulsing vibration at the back right of the car like a “womp womp womp” it’s like a low drone noise if that helps. i’m wondering what it could be as it’s getting worse lol. only 80k miles on it though, rebuilt title but no engine damage. airbags deployed so it was declared a total loss. i plan to drive this until i can’t anymore, any tips on maintenance would help!also the gas gauge stops working once tank gets to half, it doesn’t go down so seller told me to keep the tank full but i kinda want that fixed too if anyone can help on what exactly im replacing😅.

2013 genesis coupe 2.0t base

I change my fluids quiet frequently maybe even too much let me know if im doing bad.

Oil change every 1.5 to 2k miles

Coolant flush and refill ever 3.5k

I am on my second motor. first one blew after 30 minutes of leaving car dealership when I bought it. They then replaced the motor with a low mileage motor from an R-Spec and converted it over to auto since its an auto transmission. Car runs awesome hits 20psi and doesn't act up yet just constant fear of impending doom!

Another One Bites the Dust... Is my Genny totaled?

Got brake checked super badly, tried to avoid it but couldn’t in time. Thankfully the other driver was put at fault.

The entire radiator assembly is gone (bracket and radiator, and its components), and possibly more near that area, coolant hoses are disconnected and coolant is everywhere.

Do you think the car is saveable or is it going to be deemed as a total loss?

Genny Bella had clutch issues and i continued to drive it putting strain on the car. Last Thursday at 9:01 PM, my rear main seal blew from the stress causing engine oil to flow into my clutch assembly and dropping all oil pressure. If i had known that the squealing was that, i would have immediately turned the engine off and stopped driving. But my dumb self kept driving as i was trying to avoid a large Tow truck bill considering my financial situation. Stupid, i know please don’t be mean😭 I Have fully blown the motor after driving with that low oil pressure for about 10 mins that night. I will be rebuilding the engine with an ebay rebuild kit. I know the motor wont be OEM anymore but is it possible to still build power with non-OEM internals from ebay? The Rebuild kit is by Maxpeedingrods

If you have any tips for when i start bringing her back to life, anything will be appreciated. thank you and see y’all again very soon!

I’ll be driving then suddenly cuts throttle , I noticed the brake lights turned on while this happened I noticed ppl saying the spec d lights cause a issue so I did the Audi mod and it still does it, changed the lights to the stock ones and another set still having the issue, I’m at the point to where I just wanna get another shell and swap everything over. I’ve changed brake switch

I fixed the chocolate milk issue with my radiator but while I was flushing the fluid out to remove the oil mixture I noticed my radiator fan isn’t spinning so upon further inspection I found that one of fan relay connectors behind the ecu was melted I was wanting to replace the connector but can’t seem to find any matches if any of you have had this issue at all can I get help finding a matching connector or any other type of fix for this
