#1: leak on head gasket Author: kickingkay01, Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2014 6:53 am ---- AGH!!! ok my 206 is currently in the peugeot garage had a faulty airbag light....however they have informed me that there is a tiny leak on the head gasket which will cost me £800 on top of the £500 for the other work the car runs fine but has always hated traffic jams ive had it for 3 years now.... im asking for advice is the price likely to be cheaper else where or should i risk it til it actually goes...its 06 plate and only done 56k...i was thinking of selling it before it went into the garage and not planning on spending £1300!!!

I had an mg zr before i bought my gti and that was £350 with a mobile mechanic (but done it myself for £50), I HIGHLY doubt doing it on a 206 would be any different. I think they are taking the p**s at that price mate
