(2) No coolant in the oil. (3) He wants to replace the whole motor. I don't know why he wants to replace the whole motor and not just the head gasket but his cost for the motor is $4200 and about another $2K. for labor. Feel free to use as much or as little of the above as you choose. Personally, I would post points 1 and 2. I kind of suspect that the dealer would rather do a whole motor because he doesn't want to accept responsibility for a head job should it not fix the problem, so he is going for the safe and expensive repair. Please Everyone be aware that this car is going to need repairs. However every knowledgeable person I have spoken to believes it is just the head gasket. But who knows.
