Re: garage /car/advice re headgasket blown engine.
How many miles in the day or whatever it lasted where all the oil supposedly evaporated?

Stick it on Ebay and see what you get, alternatively make a coffee table out of it....

Exactly, that's ridiculous, if it had burnt that much oil in 5 miles then you'd have been leaving a right smokescreen.
If the sump was dry I suggest they drained the oil because it had water contamination and forgot to put more back in. |
Re: garage /car/advice re headgasket blown engine.
I sounds like that Chris.
Have you got the bottom end of the motor. A look ft the crank . The bearings etc is needed.make sure you keep them in line .it helps identify if its lack of oil or wear. If the main.damage if the one colsest to the oil supply then it sugests low - no oil |
Re: garage /car/advice re headgasket blown engine.
not got bottom of motor - garage man says it was fubar and he skipped it..
its all very perplexing to a none mechanic like me.. just cant understand why we paid £700 for a head gasket and a day after out of the garage it went wrong and he says the engine is knackered and we spent another £1300 on a new engine and fitting. |
Re: garage /car/advice re headgasket blown engine.
but RAc saying if was thicker semi synthetic in a vauxhall then that could block up the oil channels and the oil pump or something.
Mandy just wants to write it off and put it down to experience but me not happy |
Re: garage /car/advice re headgasket blown engine.
If its any consolation my bro had a similar arguement with his local garage when he had some big repair job on his Peugot.
Now, can anyone tell me, how on earth an engine can catch fire within a couple miles of leaving the garage? Answer, from the garage, someone must have flicked a cigarette in there:shaking: Next question.....can anyone tell me how the hell a cigarette can be flicked under a car bonnet whilst on the move, and more to the point how can a garage accuse the driver whilst behind the wheel of doing so, when he is a non smoker? |
