hi guys ,
I just bought a Honda civic Dx 1994 having 170,000 k miles on it. 2 days back i found out that when the car is idling the temperature gauge for engine heat rises above the half way going towards hot, when i start driving again the temperature gauge returns back to below halfway mark. Also turning the A/c aggrevates the above problem. I went to the HOnda dealer mechanic, and he is saying the head gasket has a crack and needs to be fixed, he is charging 1000 dollars for it. I want to check with u guys if any of u had problem like this before. Also i dont think head gasket is cracked because it would cause the temp to rise even when i am driving.
