so the car reached 127K miles on it and started to get some engine problems. (gaskets cracking and what not). i drive the car as a saily driver and i barley get on it. But the thing is, the car keeps getting engine check light and oil leaking and all that other fun stuff.
so, i just wanna ask, when did your celi start acting like it needs constant tune ups and checks and fixing stuff? Is it normal for the celi to start doing this around this mileage? -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN

[right][snapback]345227[/snapback][/right] the coolant looks a little brown. kind of like lite tea looking color. But the thing is that it looked like that since i got the car.

[right][snapback]345253[/snapback][/right] Yup you need to replace the headgasket there buddy.. Not that hard of a job, but will require a few good cd's and a case of beer and a day off with a buddy. This is when 4 cyls are da shiznit. haha.. Mines guna hit 147k in a day now.. well once i start driving it again. The wheel baring is busted and i need to replace the hub, cause replacing the baring didnt work. Burns some oil, 1 quart every 2k.. and well runs fine. |
