Does it overheat at speed (say above 45MPH)?
Is it blowing bubbles out of thermostat housing when it's still cold? Headgasket seems to go with a severe overheat-

I think I have the exact same problem with you, mine's a 2003 basic 2.4L. It's been a month since I have to keep my heater blowing hard to keep the temperature stay below middle. It'll keep safe as long as I blow the heater and stay below 60mph. I had it checked by mechanics and he said I had a blown head gasket, labor cost is $1600 but I didn't let them do it. I'm doing it myself right now and it's ... say extremely DIFFICULT.
I do think you need to check for combustion leak. If it does have a combustion leak, then you probably have a blown head gasket. |
