Hi guys,
I have an ed6 auto and I could possible facing head gasket problem, keep loosing water every now and then (1L every 3-4 weeks) plus last week, it overheated, thermostat valve stuck closed, could made more damage.
thermostat changed plus new coolant, car seem to run ok, started alright.
well, car has about 1 month rego left so, what should I do?
- fix the head gasket? I think gonna cost me more than $1500 to do everything including head serviced. not worth it? car only worth $1000 maybe
- keep driving it and keep top the water up till rego expires. then, return the plates and leave it on the street.
- selling it? No, I cant sell it with the problem and I can't lie
- engine conversions? because it carby and auto, going to hard to do efi engine conversion. plus I can't do it myself. also, I don't want to get another D15B4 (same engine) and swap it as it might have the same problem or more problems than mine
any suggestions or input welcome
cheers
