subiedude Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hello. I have a Stage II L GT (5EAT ) commuter car with 197k on it. It is in great condition (body wise). I was about to have the timing belt and 60 K service done. Now the head gasket fried yesterday. I'm not the mechanical type to repair this on my own. I know I'm looking at a small fortune to have the dealership pull the motor to see if it heads/block warped (the car runs fine and thermostat never went into the red, although it was on the boarder). I'm not sure if it is worth it to put 2-3K into a car that is only worth 6 at this point. My fear is that if this went, what else (starter, fuel pump, alternator) is next. Is 200K typical life of this car or should I look to bail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Might have better luck posting in the normal forum not the picture threads but you have 197k on stock everything?!?! Thats pretty impressive! 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
