hi a friends dad is selling a citroen turbo bx cheap as the head gasket is on the way out. had a friend look at it and he said at moment its small leak, but that continuing to drive it will damage the head , eventually water getting into oil and wrecking engine. I m wondering if anyone has experience of products that claim to seal h. gasket leaks. do they work and if so what make is best? thanks pedro

Change the head gasket. Anything else is a bodge.
New headgaskets work rather well.
Is there any other kind of BX? (c:
Have the gasket changed, it's basically a very common engine so a garage probably won't have any trouble getting bits or doing the work. Shop around.
To answer your question: If a product that claims to fix head gasket leaks does work, I'm pretty sure it won't be a very satisfactory fix.
There's some stuff that does work for head cracks. Nothing works for head gaskets.
normally im not a great lover of additives & sceptical of the claims they make, nothing beats doing the job properly, but this stuff K-seal

is excellent, we have had customers with headgaskets gone , but want an alternative to a costly repair, so at 9.99 ago its defentatnly worth a shot, used it about 5 times now and not one has come back with over heating problems or gasket problems.
thanks I ll give it a go. Pedro , I ll tell you all how i get on
