#16: Re: Milky/muddy engine oil please help! Author: matcarlin24, Location: RedditchPosted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 10:51 am ---- £350 is good tbf on my punto it went 3 times only got it fixed twice third time i got my 206
but that cost me at least £500 each time
It dosent seem to be losing coolant but its hard to tell with the usless levels on the header .
And yea thats with it being skimmed.
id get it looked at by an independant garage mate, one you trust as it sound like something other than the h/gasket to me.
Ok a good garage is hard to find though lol . I thought it was because of the loose dipstick but seems to be alot of gunk just for that .

head gasket £250.00
with cam belt extra £150.00

If so has anyone done a compresion test before?
