Mekanik Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Have we been replacing any headgaskets lately since the prior aproval thing started? The last 2 I had, I was sure needed headgaskets, but only had a bad EGR and oil cooler. Now I have one that is venting from the de-gas bottle on accel. I took the thing apart today expecting to find a leaking EGR cooler, but it was fine. The cooling system would only go down to 15in. vacuum. The oil cooler is restricted, but not nearly as bad as some other ones I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I think the ratio of head gaskets to EGR/Oil coolers has remained steady for me. Perhaps some shops are seeing a shift in their ratios because they are more than likely diagnosing them better now. I now find myself following the procedure in the TSB closely which I never used to do. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/borgsmile-1.gif I was always dead on too but by doing it by the book so to speak I have learned that my methods had worked well for me... however, I think the newer methods of diagnosing are much better. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
