Because this was your first suggestion Clan, is this a common or at least, known issue?

Just a few is still more than should be expected on such a new car.
I wonder if there's a common link between the affected few like build week for example.

I brought the car to garage. Keeping overnight. The pressure test is a high bar? I asked them to take off the head and they are thinking about that. As a matter of interest there is some type of yellow/brown sealant in the area around the coolant sump. It is like along the metal sheeting seals that make up the car? Any ideas?

The car has been in the garage for the last week and a half. They were carrying out tests. Latest is that the warranty provider will not pay for the investigation of taking off the head gasket but will pay for a replacement head gasket if it is damaged. Any views on this?

Can you hand it back and get a refund? If so that would be my course of action. If you cannot it's going to be expencive for you, either in funding the investigations and fix or getting rid of it as the word is now out and folk know it's a problem car. Even as a diy fix the parts are going to mount up and the only way to be sure it's not the part is to use genuine. Paul. |

I just spoke to the garage. They have exhausted external pressure check and are going to take off the head. the warranty insurance company said that they will pay for the repairs if there is an engine/head problem but if it turns out not to be then they won't. I will have to go with that. would you need a new engine if it is repairable?
