Hello,
Had a new engine fitted 12 months ago to this car. The last one blew up on me due to a failed oil pump and failed warning light !!
Since the new engine i've done 5000 only.
Recently, i've noticed an empty expansion tank. Have put about 5 ltrs of replacement coolant in over the past 2 months, but it keeps vanishing. Have been advised by a friend it could be the head gasket.
Question is - the garage that fitted the new engine, are they liable, as i'm not sure a head gasket should go after just 5000 miles?
Anyone with any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
