Talking Need help plz (Radiator & Cylinder Head Gasket)

Hi,

Shop finally figured out what's wrong w/ my car, they said

I need new radiator and cylinder head gasket - I hope they are right this time...
(I had overheating problem since last sep, I replaced heat hose, flinge, coolant flashed 4 times, water pump, senors, and etc..)

I was looking at the ECS tuning.


Victor Reinz - Cylinder Head Gasket Set

Valeo - Radiator
http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/...tegory=Cooling

It is good choice? or recommand something else?

Thanks,

You shouldnt need a rad unless the old one was leaking. If you blew a head gasket, im sure you would know. Car would run like crap and you would have oil in the coolant along with it getting low fast

Default Thanks

Thanks, Cincy TT

I just talked w/ shop about that they said found crack on radiator and

number 2 ,4 cylinder damaged by coolants & water. They also said i can not

buy regular head gasket because they have to see thickness of head gasket

and test out some kind of cylinder compression and balance test. It will cost

me round $1600 - 2000, what do you think about that?

Thanks again!!
