So I bought an SC and I have to say I'm irritated. The previous owner aparently 'did everything he could think of' and it even passed some mechanic's 'inspection' and said it was ok. Thing is, how the HELL does someone stay a mechanic to pass a car that tosses tons of smoke while idling?!?
I dunno.. maybe they were just daft rather than intentionally misleading. Anyway, it's coolant - there's no to ways about it. white smoke, smells like coolant, it's coolant. which means head gasket.
It's a 94 5-spd. What sort of costs am I looking at to get this fixed? 'Temperature variations' my ***. Got bent over once and now I guess here comes round two.
Any chance there's a gearhead in the austin area that might be able to lend a hand?
