Andy9376 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Could someone please let me know what symptoms to expect if the head gasket is broken? And cost to repair? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxob Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Check for a creamy sludge inside the oil filler cap. Check for oil in the water header tank. Check for water and oil loss. Check for odd noise around engine. Check for loss of compression. Reduced performance and poor running. Probably other symptoms. Sorry can't help with pricing but not cheap!

Andy9376 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks a lot. It's with a garage after overheating. The worry is that when it did that a warning light saying low oil pressure came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxstercol Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Common to get the 'mayo' in the oil filler pipe on these cars due to condensation, not necessarily a sign of head gasket failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
