Title: Oh good! oil in the coolant..
Post by: psg150 on 16 November 2008, 17:19:43

2.5 V6 auto.  I suspect head gasket - before I fork out are there any other likely causes? how much should it set me back?  :'(

Thanks mate - let me know. I may need to act fairly fast though, can't really afford to be off the road too long. Ball park figure?
