Marks DTM calib ,
Comp said oil level low so checked and it was so , as per norm checked water levels aswell and water was creamy coffee colour , so took to my mech who said sounds like the head gaskets are gone , new gaskets were put on + other part filters etc came to £450 for parts & £350 labour and about a week later same thing happened but this time header tank was pushing out the same gunk and oil filler cap had same gunk in it , as you can imagine I was not too happy as he said he did not get the heads pressure checked first time & said has had done now £40 each & both are cracked and to get the oil cooler checked he would have to have heads on ( Recon guy says the cooler can be checked seperately ?? , and thats where were at !!

Hi all ,
Has anybody ever known of a 52 plate 2.6 v6 Y26SE engine to crack both heads as I was just informed by a recon head company that for 1 of these heads to crack is rare but for both extemely rare & said its normally the oil cooler that goes and that does the gaskets in , He reckons that the place my mechanic sent for testing did a vacuum test & not a pressure test ( am going to find out which & poss watch them test them as advised by the recon co.) , Would just like to know !! also does anyone know where I could purchase said items if they turn out to be cracked ??
Many thanks
