Reliable Garage in SW19??


Recommended Posts

I'm loosing coolant every time I drive. The leak isn't obvious and my local garage suggested changing the head gasget. This would cost a lot and may not even be the problem.

Does anyone know a good mechanic or garage with VR6 experience in or near WimbledonSW19?

I live nearby and work in and around your area. I'd be happy to have a look at it for you. Hopefully pinpoint the problem and recommend a good local garage. I've sent you a PM with my number.

I had a look and the thermostat housing appears to be cracked or distorted and leaking. I could see where the antifreeze had leaked onto the power steering pipes underneath. No loss of power, no overheating, no oil in the coolant or vice versa and no white smoke so I can't fathom how a garage suggested changing the head gasket without doing any proper investigation or checks. Once Sparkz has changed the housing we'll know for sure but its not the head gasket causing the coolant loss imho. Engine has only covered a genuine 37,000 miles btw :o
