A blown head gasket doesn't automatically mean the engine, or the car, is finished.
What the decision depends on
- Vehicle value
- Age
- Mileage
- Overall condition
- Extent of engine damage
- Cylinder-head condition
- Cost of repair
- Other mechanical problems
Why early diagnosis matters
Early diagnosis can make a big difference because a gasket problem caught before severe overheating or lubrication failure may be a very different proposition from an engine that's been driven until major internal damage occurs.
DB Autos can assess your engine and help you weigh up the options. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
