Head gasket ?

Post by Tattmandoo »

Hi
Im new to this site and also to owning a T3 camper . I love it but its leaking .I left it back to the "dealer" and I,m afraid he will try to sting me for labour . How much is the average cost to replace and refit a head gasket ?

Hi Tattmandoo

Welcome to here where you will find all you need to know (and lots you don't !)

Firstly, you need to tell us what engine is in your camper.

Flat 4 petrol or straight 4 Diesel ?

Well at least it is not the flat4 as head gasket jobs on those can and often do lead to the purchase of another engine !!

I will let someone else talk about Diesel head gaskets cause I don't know owt about them !!
