head gasket; warranty

Oh boy.

Just follow the maintenance schedule and document it wherever or however it happens.

Does anyone have a case where warranty claims were denied during the warranty period? If so, what grounds did they give.

Smoke billowing out of the car as antifreeze spills out onto the hot engine block is a good sign of a head gasket failure, as is magical disappearance of coolant.

Proliferate ng postings on all aspects of what you do. You are already exhibiting head gasket problems ;) Frank

It's not the price but I want one w/o spoiler (I'll still pay the same price) but it seems like I have to live with the spoiler.

FYI, when I had Honda Civic, initially, there was a worry that head gasket was a problem because of the sensor light on. At the time, I didn't even know what "head gastket". It just so happened that a classmate has a brother-in-law with auto repair shop and they did the testing and found out that due to the heat from the engine, the sensor light bulb (or somehhting like that got burned). Luckily, I wasn't ripped off during that event unlike some other event.

Nope... nuttin... I did all my own maintenance. I had a trans problem at

You may be able to trade trunks with someone that has a model without the spoiler. Aske here and at

I see folks trading stuff like that frequently on those forums.

have fun with your new car!

The 2.5 turbo motors have a semi-closed deck block. I have a feeling that the gaskets won't be an problem on those the same way they're not a problem on the semi-closed deck 2.0 WRX. -Danny

HAHAHAHA....Honda has a "Blown Headgasket" light??

You will know when it lets go,BITCH...... the exhaust will smell a lot like your vagina....oops wait...that smells all the time..... Your out of luck....

As you know, our '98 is being repaired at the moment. From messages here, you shouldn't have a problem with the '05 engine.

However, for others here, I distinctly recall gurgling noises from the engine every time I parked it. This for at least a couple of years before gasket failure. Having read about this, I think that the noises are an indication that there's air in the coolant, which is the primary cause of gasket failure. If your car gurgles when you park it, it either hasn't been bled correctly and will fail soon, or you already have early gasket failure.

Interesting. Will check it out.

Thanks.

Remember where you came from?

Thanks for all the info.

My first reaction was, nooooooooooooo, don't send her towards NASIOC!!!!11one!

I soon decided it would actually be quite pleasureable to watch her meet the likes of Davenow and Uncle Scotty...

Remember what we told you about wasting time with him?

OKkkkkkkkk.

My friend has a '99 Forester. His head gasket failed; both were replaced under warranty. A few symptoms of head gasket failure are water leaks and/or foaming in the oil, usually noticed at the oil fill cap.

How long is the standard warranty ? I've got a '99 with 160K miles that probably needs a new head gasket and is probably way way over any warranty!
