DB Continuing to drive with a suspected failed head gasket can lead to much more serious damage.
What can happen
- Coolant loss can cause further overheating
- Oil contaminated with coolant may no longer lubricate the engine correctly
- Continued overheating can damage the cylinder head and other engine components
What to do instead
If the vehicle is seriously overheating, losing large amounts of coolant or displaying a red temperature warning, don't try to nurse it around for another fortnight. Get professional advice.
DB Autos can inspect a suspected blown head gasket. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
