1981 Diesel Rabbit repairs (and in Seattle)

Nov 04, 2007 2 Replies

I haven't been driving my Rabbit much, since it has well over 160,000 miles (odometer broke two owners ago) and I don't know the condition of the timimg belt. Now, I'm 98% sure it has a blown head gasket. Question #1: How much should I expect to pay for the head gasket replacement and the timing belt replacement? Question #2: Anyone have a repair shop in the Seattle area to recommend?


When was the last belt replaced. It is not just miles that count. If you don't know, then it is past due.
