Hello everyone I have a bit of a look for this but can't really find an answer.
Last service the mechanic fitted a new water pump, I noticed that had a small coolant leak and the mechanic thought it was an o ring but after pressure testing he says its the welch plugs. He reckons $6000 to fix properly! Recommends a replacement engine and has located one at a wreckers which he would fit all up for $2.5-3000!!
Is he trying to rip me off? Would it really cost $6000 to replace welch plugs?
I appreciate your help.
