I think the head gasket may have gone on my Chrysler Grand Voyager. It's a 2000(W) 3.3 petrol with gas conversion. Driving back from Dartford yesterday it overheated twice and I filled it with water both times. Checked once home for leaks but can see nothing coming out the bottom. Checked the oil cap and that looked OK but the dipstick looked very watery.
I did have an advisory for this a few years ago when I had a core plug leak fixed. I posted about it then and was told it is unlikely and could be the v manifold gasket (think that's right!?).
My questions are :
If it is the v manifold gasket would it produce the symptoms described?
If it is the head gasket how much should I be looking to pay for repair, I've just had a £1300 quote from one garage who said they'd have to do both heads as wouldn't be able to tell which was leaking, is that correct?
Thanks,
Dave
