Tantrum New Member Last Online: Mar 9th, 2017 20:40 Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Bury	T4 Head Gasket My beloved 1998 S40 T4 broke down today which the RAC diagnosed as Head Gasket failure after 2 minutes looking at it on the side of the motorway in the pouring rain but I just wanted to get a second opinion... Car's been feeling hesitant for a couple of days but temperature normal and oil ok - no sign of "mayo" round the cap or on dipstick. It's felt like this before but a change of coils and plugs sorted it. Radiator coolant is not oily but is red like rust tho not overheating. Car has been sounding like a diesel for some time but Volvo dealer couldn't resolve even after exhaust change etc. Thought it might be plugs/electrical until car started to slow on the motorway on the way home and wouldn't go above 30mph!! Any ideas welcome - I know I'm probably clutching at straws though! Thanks __________________ 98 S40 T4 02 Camaro SS,Full bolt ons.
