the headgasket blew! (I posted this on the old forum but here are some new details about my overheated 2001 2.0 GLS w/40,000 miles)...
The headgasket was replaced and the head was reshaped (it was warped by 6/1000ths (?)) and since everything is open (and I know about the lovely plastic impellar on the water pump) I'm having my water pump (w/a metal impellar) added and timing belt replaced.
My warranty (thank GOD) is paying for the head related repairs, but I have a few questions...
1-Would you think $400 is an average price to replace the water pump and timing belt (all inclusive - that is my quote for it)?
2-He said all of the parts are actually fine (I'm doing this as premedative maintenance) including my tensioner, so considering this...I can still leave the original tensioner in right?
Thanks again!!!
