Hello all,
Been a while all, hope all is well. My ol' 98 is having some major issues and I need a hand.
My 98 2.5 RS has been overheating due to air getting into the cooling system from "somewhere" The somewhere has been a mystery as there are no visible signs of leeks or bleeding. RUn the thing on the highway for about 10 minutes, and viola you are missing about 2 quarts of coolant.
After over 2 weeks at the dealer, 2 new thermostats, a new water pump, numerous drains, fills, pressure checks and leak checks, they (the dealer folks) say I have either a warped head or a blown head gasket. None of the local shops want to touch it. Dealer wants about $1500 to fix it.
ANyone have some experience with something like this?
Much thanks in advance
Dan "Flyin 555"
